    it must be seasonal considering the rest of the brood went off food too. But the worm trick definately worked. I'll use another live worm tomorrw (mixed in with salmon and pinky parts) and then I'll use defrosted worm parts for another 4/5 feeds using less and less until she gets the idea that 'normal' food isn't so bad after all .
    Keeping - 'Florida blue' sirtalis, concinnus, infernalis, parietalis, radix, marcianus and ocellatus.

    Its most likely seasonal. But still! It always scares me when I rehome garters and they stop eating!

    Your tactic is a good one by the way. Same as I do when they are newborns (although I haven't used this tactic in the last two years...they all went for fish on the first try)
