I feed pinkies and trout at each feeding .... usually one mouse pink and two pink sized pieces of trout ...
When I had my ribbons I stuck to the diet prescribed by the lab technician which was definately alien to the normal garter pallet - boiled cod or haddock, backed up with vitamins in the water and the occaisional worm treats. I even fed small toads a few times with no ill effects and also resorted to cat food once or twice.
I live in the city now so toads/frogs/worms are hard to come by but I think our garters are doing so well on trout and pinks that I don't have to worry about supplementing extra food items (although I will remember to raid my mothers garden next time I'm there).
