Does anybody know...

Does anybody know, does anybody care,
Where slugs go when the trees are bare?
Do they all slide south to some warmer clime,
Then slide back again when it's summertime?
I don't really care, but I'd like to know
What happens to slugs when we're covered with snow!

Hi Mummy. When the trees are bare, slugs are over-wintering. They have special "anti-freeze" proteins in their blood that prevent them from freezing. It's a sort of slug hibernation, deep in the soil. Love you bye!
