    And when a garter snake refuses pinkies and nothing will help... just accept it and keep feeding fish.
    There is no garter snake that cannot do without pinkies.

    Feeding milestone - Since I have 400 frozen mice (oops 365) I wanted to see who wanted some thawed rodents.

    Every single adult garter in the collection consumed multiple pinkies today!

    I cut up Tilapia and salmon, put in the same bowl, and they all ate. I teased a couple with tongs, but in all everyone readily accepted pinks

    They were so darn cheap this way...... 400 mice for around 100 dollars.

    I could not breed that many that fast that cheaply

    They wont last, once those baby milks start taking pinks, they will eat a lot of them.

    With all the garters eating them, I have to thaw a dozen at a time, so they will be gone before I know it.

    The hopper mice, Chomp, Oreo, CY and Carmella all eat those, so that's 8 mice per feeding gone!
