Hah! When I had my first garter (many moons ago), I used to feed it dozens of minnows I would catch in the creek near by. One day he stopped eating and I thought something was wrong. So I took him to a vet and he said that he stopped eating, because he couldn't FIT anymore minnows in him!!
That's when I first found out that garters can be total gluttons! Hey, try taking a VERY small pinky (thawed frozen one), wash it off under the tap and then rub worm slime onto it and offer it to the garter. Each time rub a little less slime on, 'til he starts just taking them clean. Had to do this with my big kingsnake when she was just a little thing. Had a gecko tail in my freezer that I'd rub on pinkies, 'til she'd take them with out scenting. Got really expensive feeding her lizards all the time!
