When I first caught them, they ate baby carrots like tanks but ever since I changed the enclosure (cause the old one was too small) they do not eat that much anymore. All I been doing is spray water in the enclosure daily.

Is it possible they just aren't hungry? I'm sure they can go a while without food, and they might still be getting used to the new environment. How long ago did you switch them over?

Where did you catch them btw? Just read about these very cool re-internal shell, and the suspended mating on mucus threads :eek: Wish I could find some, not sure I could find these where I'm located

Bet you can, they're invasives from Europe present in most states, including California. Look in covered damp places (in basements, under logs and rocks, etc.)

This is probably too late, but despite what Wikipedia says leopard slugs are carnivores. No wonder they won't really eat carrots - they need meat. Cat food is a good food for them.
