Crushed babies?

[Bear-Cat]

Good point...I never feed garters a fish only diet. Not using fillets anyway. I would be especially careful with babies to vary the diet if you are feeding fish fillet. Get some worms in there.

I was thinking of worms from the garden, but didn't know what kind they were and didn't want to kill them harder.
Later on down their lives we are going to mix pinkies into their diet. Cutting up these huge night crawlers isn't really an option - it isn't a matter of I feel disgusted by it, it's their bowels get everywhere all over everything. The worms in our flowerbed are much more manageable, if they are safe that is.

They don't have red bands around their bodies and look like regular earthworms.
