Slugs in my bin??

I was adding food last weekend,and found two slugs on the inside of the lid. One was about 1/2" long and the other one somewhat over twice that size. I managed to get the bigger one off and tossed it outside to freeze, I hope. The tiny one fell into the bin and I can't find it. I did some reading and learned, I think, that slugs eat worms.

How concerned should I be? My worms don't seem to be bothered, food is disappearing at a normal rate, and I've not seen another sign of slugs, although I know at least that one has to still be in there. (I HOPE!!! I sure don't want to get up barefoot in the dark and step on it...ugh!)

I have some partially decomposed fall leaves in my bedding bag, and they must have had some eggs on them. That's the only way I can think of that they got in there. The worst part is I have no way of knowing, if two eggs got in, how many more might there be?
