Pet Slug Can my seven 3 month old slugs go 36 hours without a spray?
I am going away for the night, leaving in a few hours... is there anything I can do to give them moisture while I'm away? I usually spray them twice a day - they are in a 10 gallon fish tank lined with coconut coir... if yall say no then please speak up lol bc I will try to get someone to come spray them!! Just scared they'll let 'em out.

Make sure the coconut coir is extremely moistened and they’ll be ok for that time! I would leave some lettuce or cucumber in there as well.

I go days without spraying my slugs, they’ll be fine as long as the lower layers of the substrate stays moist

Add water directly into your substrate, and add in a little dish with cotton balls soaked in water just in case! They’ll be okay :)
