Re: Small birds??
what about crickets, i hear some really absurd things about feeding crickets, and thats probably one of the most common foods in my house petwise but is it ok to feed them crickets and would i have to scent them?

Re: Small birds??
I was under the impression, that salt water fish were especially safe food? Supposedly almost guaranteed not to contain thiaminase?

Re: Small birds??
There are always these little birds flying around where I herp and sometimes in my backyard, mouse sized, hmmm... Whats a good way to catch a bird if you don't mind me asking? I'm thinking pellet gun because it would kill instantly and I'm a good shot with it.?
(Don't get mad at the idea of shooting a bird with a pellet gun lol) |

Re: Small birds??
I would not feed anything from salt water myself as I am unaware of how garters would rid themselves of the excess salt (like iguanas are known to sneeze stuff out)
as far as parasites and freezing, it's suggested to freeze for 30 days but that DOES NOT elimanate all types of parasites. Garters and pretty much any other species can live with small amounts of parasites with no ill effects the problem lying in unsanitary caging conditions which the animal keeps reintroducing the parasites into it's body and stress which weaken the immune system allowing said parasites to take over
