I would like to let my two piggies in a run in the garden but we have lots of slugs and snails. I wouldn't want them to eat the grass where the slime has been and have the possibility of getting lungworm. I don't know if it is possible for them to get it or if it is just Millie I have to worry about?!

Hedgehogs eat them and it doesn't affect them, so I'd assume most small animals are safe.
