I thing is the rabbits.
The slug ate everything off my plant of jalapenos leaving just the stems and I had barely planted them do I have to start over
Probably, although there is a chance that it might sprout new shoots from the root. You will need to figure out how to protect your plants from the slugs or it will just happen again.
If you are growing them in a pot or planter, you can get copper tape to adhere to the edge. This will prevent the slugs from getting to the seedlings. If you are planting in a garden, there are other plants that slugs don't like or won't cross, or you could put a protective collar around the bottom of your plant. Slugs are pretty determined, good luck!
