Slimes just eat any plorts they find lying around, feeding them only speeds up the process. So you have to make sure your coral don't have any tabbies, tabby plorts, or tabby largos before you put your pink slimes in them, otherwise they will turn into pink tabby largos. You may actually want this though since largos are easier to feed and produce twice as many plorts as regular slimes. The downside to largos is you can't vacuum them up if you want to get rid of them. A common rookie mistake is to let the ranch become overrun by dozens of largos which take a long time to clear. But you don't want to accidentally let largos eat a third kind of plort, since that will produce a tarr, which will attack and infect other slimes. So a second rookie mistake allow a tarr in your ranch, wiping out the entire slime population in a few minutes.

Slimes, especially pink slimes, will eat anything they can nearby. Pink tabbies could be good or bad though. On one hand, pinks eat everything which can help you deal with how picky the tabby is; but on the other hand, some prefer to cross "difficult" food slimes like the cats with something with a farmable favorite food for extra plorts. It's up to you if you want the pink kitties or not in the end.

If you don't want them, get rid of any existing pink tabby largos at the ranch (chuck them into the slime sea behind the house, fastest way to do it), pick up any and all plorts you find, and make sure your corrals are secure. Slimes can be little escape artists, tabbies already love to pounce/jump, pinks love to stack, and all slimes are food motivated. High walls, a sky net, and spacing between corrals can go a long way to prevent accidental largos/tarr. Remember not to overfill corrals either. A corral can contain slimes, a corral can not contain 40+ hungry stacking slimes determined to go find food.

If you don't have corrals, make some. You wont be able to free ranch multiple species without serious risk of tarr outbreaks and there are actually some natural food sources near the ranch that the pinks are good at sniffing out, so they might find food even if you think you havent fed them.

if your slimes are free range they will eat anything they find
