Just a note. (since I haven't figured out how to edit my posts yet)

A couple of the minnows I got died shortly after getting home. I am considering it due to throwing some 24 of them in a small travel carrier and them not having enough to breath with all of them there.

I put the ones that died in the freezer for later use.

Does this sound like a good idea?

Also reading around I see strips of salmon, talapia(*spelling) and such are good feeding foods. (if you make sure no protruding bones are there)

Any other suggestions for me?

I'll be hitting up the reptile store (on the other side of town) when I get the chance.
If you have ever been to san antonio you will understand why that is a trek to do.

I am going to try to convince her to eat a pinkie again soon. I have to try to make it smell like a fish, might wrap one of the small minnows I froze around it to entice her.
