I have just been up the garden again in the rain to cut some Sweet Peas and I have seen the most weird thing, its a big black slug eating a mouse. I saw it this morning as I was going to the compost bin and the afternoon its still there. I have a pic of it but didnt want to up set anyone by putting it on here unless you would like to see it that is just let me know. I didnt know that they ate meat? The cat must have left it there for me to find, not the slug but the mouse. ;D If I had'nt seen it with my own eyes I would never had believed it.

I had a look on WikiAnswers and found this  Quote: Land slugs and sea slugs mostly feed on vegetation, although some slugs eat other animals, including other slugs. Land slugs have an astonishing 27,00 teeth in their mouths. |

 Right no more falling asleep in the garden.... 2700 teath? I knew they eat dead fellows and have unkindly used that to lure new ones to their certain death at The Execution Plank. Getting rid of a mouse corps is a new one in the book for me.
