Ground Beef?

I guess some Garters would eat it. But why would you want to use it? You would have to ensure that there was nothing else in there (homogenized proteins and other crap we feed to ourselves).

plus I have yet to find a garter big enough to eat a cow in the wild..not a normal part of their diet...

I know that heart of beef is used as snake food in Germany?
I´ve tried it and use chicken hearts as an addition to fish and rodent diet.
ground beef and ground pork contains a lot of hidden fat.

That may be true but we as humans force a lot of unnatural foods on our captive. Just because they don't eat it in the wild doesn't mean it is bad for them. My guess is that a lot of the garters we switch over to mice would never encounter one in the wild.
