So, I’ve recently made a lovely hide for them using superglue to glue rocks together, and while i figure it’ll be okay for them as its safe for aquariums, i wanted to double-check with you guys and make sure its safe for them to crawl over before i give it to them.
I created this hide because i’ve been having some “nipping” problems with my slugs, and i’m assuming its because of a lack of protein, yet they refuse to eat egg. Do you think making a paste of carrot and egg would get them to eat some protein? They really love their carrots and I’d like if they’d stop trying to eat one another when I have to put them in their temporary tank while doing maintenance on their main tank...

Abt glue I have no idea!
Abt proteins (I don't know which kind of slugs do you have) my snails and slugs really loves beans: I boil them, and peel them and wait they cool down, before to feed them, and give them more or less once a week.. They like all kind of legumes in fact, and, except your slugs are predator guys (for example many of the Arion genus) that will be enough!
Also common detritivorous slugs, will be ok by eating those dead little guys who thrive in their environment like springtails or other insects (although I think springtails are not considered to be insects in fact, but I think you get my meaning)
