    Re: Mouse Question

    Thanks all.. I will be haunting the threads.. I do like to vary the diet, but since my large female has decided she will eat adult mice I give her, I would like to keep it as simple as possible..with the worms and extras as a treat.. BUT I just adopted 2 cb babies, and will be working on thier diet..But prefer not to chop up pinkies..

    Is that what you are feeding?? I have seen your website(love it).. and could not for the life of me figure out what you were giving the garters.. What is the white stuff in the middle?? Some kind of calicum or just "filling"??

    his garters enjoyed a 'can of slugs'
    I tried this stuff on my big red(oregon red-sided) and she wanted nothing to do with it.. HOW can I get my new babies to LIKE THE IDEA????????

    Re: Mouse Question

    I feed about 66.6% worms and 33.3% mice. Nothing else. But he/she isn't very old (probably not even a year) so I don't have a clue on the long term effects. It seems to be doing good though, other than when he/she stopped eating.
