Make sure to provide proper ventilation. The lid should have holes for ventilation. Something like a mesh lid, for example, would work well. Slugs are very small, especially in comparison to reptiles that are usually kept in aquariums. Examine ventilation holes carefully and make sure a slug cannot creep out of these holes.
Once a week, remove your slug and put it in a safe container with air holes. Remove the substrate and then replace it.
If you bring anything in from outside, make sure to inspect it carefully before putting it in your slug’s tank.
Slugs are very sensitive to chemicals. Only use distilled water when washing the slug’s aquarium. You should refrain from washing anything with soap. Slugs are sensitive to tap water, so opt for distilled water.
If possible, opt for organic fruits that do not make use of pesticides. In general, feed your slugs more vegetables than fruits. Slugs can die from consuming too much sugar, even natural sugar from fruits.
It’s very important to use distilled water. The chemicals found in tap water can kill slugs.
