Advice For a Friend Please With Outside Bun

Wise Old Thumper
Hiya,

My friend has a bit of a problem with her outdoor hutch. She can't stop slugs getting into the hutch and they are being attracted to the food :(

She has put those beer things out (which attract the slugs and then you empty) which does lessen the problem but doesn't cure it.

Anyone any ideas? :(

Thanks :wave:
 
When it came to plants, my nan used to put a ring of salt around the flower pot. Kinda mean and I don't know how well it worked - but I can always remember her doing it when I was little :roll: sure do remember weird things from childhood :lol:
 
Is she putting too much food down for the buns? The food doesn't last long enough in my rabbit enclosures for the slugs to get to it:lol: They only have half a tablespoon of pellets each per day plus fresh veg and loads of hay. Aside from the hay, the rest of it is all gone in a matter of minutes (although the veg maybe is munched on for half an hour).
 
Copper wire strips around the hutch :)

Thats not actually worked for me :(

I can't stop them getting in Trip and Scarletts run I have tried everything that has been suggested on here before :? And mine have no food laying about because they eat their pellets and veg straight away and their hay is kept in a rack up in their hutch

If there is food being left about then I would say she could give them less pellets or if its veg being left about maybe she is giving them to too much of that, I have never found slugs in the hay just the run so I don't think they are attracted to hay at all :)
