Wild caught baby Garter won't eat...

Agreed. I was hoping for breeding adults though. I can make do with frozen pinkies to feed with in the meantime, but the closest mouse carrier is an hour plus away and I'm attempting to plan ahead.

Wow you don't have a Petco or a Petsmart near you? That's weird! One male and a few females and you'll have pinkies in less than a month! Gestation period for mice is around 21 days!

Something I've always wondered, is, ok, they have some pinkies, but only a few, and then they're gone. Done. So what, you wait another month?

They normally have fairly large litters and if you have several females they will all be giving birth around the same time

Snake Food, Reptile Food, Feed Carnivores, Birds of Prey : Layne Labs.com is the cheapest place I found that sends frozen overnights in the U.S. I made out with an order of 25 pinks at $11, and $35 shipping. Then there's 50 for $18. All in all, 46 bucks and some change for 25.

Around $1.88 each in the end. Yikes. That's petco price. Very high.

You did the math also Steve ... wow

I'd go online for pinkies if they cost that much...

The idea is to keep several producing females, then you have pinkies constantly.
