Lungworm?

[Squigle]

I've noticed that since Ive put my piggies outside in their hutches there's quite a few slugs crawling round on the pavers, I'd imagine gonig after the odd bits of hay? Anyway, I was wondering if Squigle piggies can get lung worm if a slug has been crawling round on theiir food?

I think it's quite unlikely - I believe that hedgehogs need to eat the slugs to get the parasite. It's always good to keep food bowls spotlessly clean of course.

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it unless your piggies eat the slugs I don't know for sure but never heard of it happening.
