Best Answer

This really depends on what is meant by "slugs". Platypuses eat small water animals such as aquatic insect larvae of caddisflies, mayflies and two-winged flies, fresh water shrimp, annelid worms, yabbies and crayfish. Insect larvae and worms might be considered by some to be "slugs" but they are not true slugs, and are not eaten by platypuses.
