How do Slime Mold react around meat?

How do Slime Mold react around meat?

If anyone saw my last post, y'all know I'm raising a slime mold of my own, the classic yellow one, Physarum polycephalum. It's growing quite nicely, and I got its terrarium done, so transport will occur soon. Anyway, I'm asking all the internet nerds cause no matter where I look, I can't seem to find a straight answer.

How do Slime Molds react around meat? I think I've seen a vid where they completely devoured some pork, but that was a one-time thing. Do they like it as an easy high-protein source, or do they tend to avoid it, preferring other types of food?

I'm growing this lil' guy, but I'm a bit concerned on how I can transport him...

I grew him in a little empty Olly container (it's not airtight, but I also drilled a hole in the lid just in case), and it's growing pretty quickly, but I plan on having him in a more proper terrarium. How should I transport him? He seems to be spreading from the food rather than onto it, is that gonna be an issue if most of him is still him the container?
