I bought some albino garters a few weeks ago, and they didn't seem to eat for the first week 10 days..
I just kept offering without hasseling them...then I tried a small trout bit in a pair of tweezers.. they went mad for that and then just started eating from the dish, have been fine since..sometimes they just need to 'chill' for a bit and get used to their new home.
keep trying, try tiny cut up bits of fish..
