Re: Some concerns with my Garter Snake

Garters don't eat insects, they can't digest the exoskeletons. If you got him eating frogs, you can rub pinkie mice on the frogs and feed them to the snake. Frozen thawed pinkie mice are ok for small garters. Live ones don't have teeth to inflict injuries on garters. They can be trained to eat dead pinks. I have had no problems in the past with feeding garters strictly fish. I prefer to feed them rodents now, and use worms to scent pinks on a lot of my snakes. They love the worms, but worms aren't a lot of nutrition... I generally give a variety of fish, worms, and rodents until I get them on only rodents.
