And if so, how come they're used as guards rather than meat - with sligs, it's understandable, but with slogs, being as they're not intelligent to the same degree (they just run around and eat stuff, although they do have a sense of what to attack and not what to attack *sometimes*), and yet scrabs are deadlier, what made Rupturefarms etc choose to make food from scrabs rather than slogs? Or, seeing how the Glukkons think, why not just both?

maybe due to meat quality (the meat/muscle may be too tough or otherwise unsatisfactory for consumer preferences), meat taste (the meat may not actually taste good), muscle mass (there may not be enough meat/muscle on them to make a substantial profit), fat mass (there may be too much fat running through the muscle mass and therefore this could directly affect sales), etc. also they're pretty small compared to scrabs, so i'm sure it'd be more beneficial for them to be used as a source of security rather than meat product.
and they're an exceptional means of security, read up on the link provided. they have their faults, but they make up for them, and they don't need paying or even feeding at times. a far as i know, anyway.
