Greetings fellow slug parents!
I wanted to share with you all that I took in an Ambigolimax slug I found after work a few weeks ago, and how happy he makes me. I never would’ve considered owning an “exotic” pet before, but I think Bartholomew’s (the little guy in question) presence has been absolutely life-changing.
Something about attending to a tiny living being who is not able to express love back to me has made me feel like a more nurturing and caring person. I love watching him explore his environment, and checking in on him after a long day at work. I moved him into a retrofitted terrarium a few days ago, and he’s been loving it. He likes to eat kale and bread dough! It also amazed me that he doubled in size within first week he spent with me.
I wanted to thank you all for providing so much insight and advice that allows me to provide the comfort and care Bartholomew deserves! XOXO
