Live guppies from the pet shop usually work on the problem feeders. If not like Steve said try regular earthworms instead of nightcrawlers. Best of luck with them i hope they start eating for you.

[Mrs N1ntndo]

is there a certain kind of guppy and do i cut them up to. do guppies need a pump to live. also can garters use those as a reg food. i have tried reg worms(earth) and no results

[BLUESIRTALIS]

LIve feeder guppies most pet stores have them in stock. I think you get like 6 or 8 for dollar but they will eat every single guppie most of the time.

[Mrs N1ntndo]

cool .thank you. wat about canthe live on those and are those the kind that can live wo a pump.never had guppies. and can garters live on those as there main food?

Live guppies will often get them started eating. Once they are eating you can usually switch them to another food type. I supplement the rodents with tilapia fillet. I buy 1 or 2 fillets and cut them into ~1/2 inch wide pieces, freeze them on a wax paper lined cookie sheet and then store them in a zipper-type plastic bag. When I feed the tilapia I cut the frozen pieces into a suitable size for whichever snakes I'm feeding and then let the pieces thaw before feeding. Some of my snakes didn't like salmon for some reason. Most of the salmon I can buy around here has color added, I'm not too thrilled about added color, so I don't buy any salmon anymore.

I see no reason why guppies couldn't be a staple of their diet. Maybe mix it with a bit of nightcrawler for some variety.

Well,

1. It's expensive.
2. Its really not easy once theyre bigger, cause the guppies are tiny.
3. It's expensive.

Guppies could be used as a regular diet, but some of my large adults have trouble catching the little guppies, they much prefer larger food items.

I wouldn't want to feed them to mine unless it is a last resort, but most breeders on here start there babies out on them. The deal with me was the pet store in my area didn't clean the cages and they were way over populated so the fish were stressed and sick. If you want to use guppies as a staple you would need to raise your own to use and they are so small it wouldn't be worth it. I would just buy a few dollars worth for the problem feeders.
