How do you think I can get her to eat fresh trout if she won't eat a dead rosie that is in her bowl? I tend to think she is used to moving food, LOL. I said to my son before, why can't she just eat a bowl of cereal, would be nice wouldn't it?

How bout my hubby had an idea of buying some of those worms that the 7-11's sell for bait, would think a garter would eat them? Is it healthy?

Thanks,
