She really seemed to prefer eating the trout and bass over the tank fish so I was feeding those alot over the summer and fall. I tried feeding worms and slugs and such and she didn't like them. Is it okay to feed fish as long as she's getting supplimented with vitamins or should I try to get her to eat worms or cut up some other type of meat ? If I need to try some other type of meat what does everyone suggest? I don't think I'm up to trying pinky mice yet.
Thanks,

I know it's old but I thought I should mention it anyway. I wouldn't feed them Bass. Bass are at or near the top of the food chain in most waters. This means that they are very high in heavy metals and contaminants. They aren't even safe for people to eat if you ask me. Unless you live in the arctic, wild fish are going to have mercury. Bass especially. While one meal won't kill you, feeding on that stuff constantly will eventually result in mercury poisoning.

Then you got the wrong impression.
