Answer 4

Answer 5

i had the same problem so i got some type of snail killer thing and put it round the cage and the problem was sovled

Answer 6

In the bad weather the slugs were getting to my dogs dish, cos she likes to eat outside! In fact the slugs tried almost anything I put on the ground! I did use salt, but there were loads of the little buggers! And when it rained I had to put down more salt....and clean up exploded slugs!

So I made a mat out of sandpaper and put the dish on it! And when it rained and I brought the dish in all I had to do was bring in the mat to!

It worked so well I put sandpaper around the bottom of plant pots! and anything else those slug beasties might climb up and so far it's working!

Answer 7

Put salt all around your rabbit cage. This will work. Slugs hate salt. So try this.

Answer 8

Put a line of salt around the cage. Slugs and snails get burned by salt so they will avoid it and cant pass it.

Answer 9

If someone could answer this it'd be great because i have this problem too...and it is extremely annoying!

Answer 10

A slight modification of the salt plan.

Fill up a garden/household spray gun with a saturated solution of salt and water.

Spray the inside of the cage and anywhere else you have slugs. When it dries out there will be salt crystals on everything. A slug mine field :0)

A salt l**k will do your rabbit no harm, but obviously ensure it has fresh water not salted.

Answer 11

bring the rabbit out and kill the slugs with spay fingys

Answer 12

Try leaving a dish of beer just outside the hutch. Dig a shallow hole to put the dish in so the slugs and snails can easily climb in. They adore the beer and will die happy...before they reach your rabbits cage!

Answer 13

Answer 14

Hi,have you tried putting salt round the Hutch or put the Hutch higher.

Answer 15

Oh.. lots of ways.

You must keep him outside, hu?

Put him up on a table!

is he out in the rain?

if hes indoors like in a garage, youcan get a flat cardboard box top that the cage can sit in, fill that up with salt.  slugs cant touch salt or they die!

or, take them to court. sue the slugs.

Answer 16

Are you sure they are slugs and not maggots.  If they are slugs, just get the cage up off the ground.
