How do you get a Gold Slime?

While playing Slime Rancher, sometimes I come across a Gold Slime, but after I try to use my vacuum, it runs into a wall and dies. I've watched a youtuber, IHasCupquake, run into the same situation, and the same thing happened. So I have no idea how to get that amazing slime. How do I get it?
Best Answer
You can't vac up Gold Slimes, but you get their plorts by hitting them with food or other plorts, or by feeding them a Gilded Ginger.
You can sort of capture Gold Slimes by catching a Gold Gordo with a Gordo Snare baited with a Gilded Ginger.

Gold slimes produce no direct risks to a rancher but their appearance often induces panic and leads to (sometimes fatal) mistakes.
