== == Most puppies don't eat slugs and earthworms if you keep them inside, but they probably wouldn't anyway. Also, if they do it, it's probably because they don't know any better. Puppies use taste to explore their world, just as human babies do. A lot of what they "eat" isn't actually swallowed.

They don't know what they are supposed to eat, and yes they are exploring their world in the only way that they can. They don't eat only slugs or earthworms, they swallow small things that they found, because they don't know what's eatable.
