i would imagine that its a dosage issue - ferric phosphate wont harm a hog which eats one or two pellets (or dead slugs) however if you have exceeded their directions in how much to use and thus have lots of dead slugs arround for hedgie to find as he pootles about your garden there is a good chance that it will build up in his blood to the point where it will give him kidney failure.

if you put cat litter around your fave plants they don't like it as it's supposed to dry their slime up or sprinkle gravel or grit around as they find it very uncomfortable to slither over, or you could let them have a sluggy happy hour and use the old fashioned remody of the beer bath, it will kill them but they won't care nor will it hurt the things that could eat them as long as they can fly or walk in a straight line afterwards
