I'm not possitive but I believe it is illegal to keep eastern milksnakes in Canada .. Ontario at least.
But anyways a milksnake will not eat crickets. In their first year in the wild they eat salamanders, small frogs and baby snakes. I'm possitive about the baby snakes since I have seen this happen with a baby milksnake before in the wild. Ringneck, brown, redbelied, smooth green, garter ... all of them have tiny babies. It is not natural for them to eat baby mice but that should be the first thing that you try. A little bit wider than the head is ok.
What did you try feeding your garter snake? They should eat almost anything .. worms, crickets, grasshoppers, baby mice, frogs ... in the future after 3-4 weeks you should release anything that is not eating... maybe even sooner as they may not do well in the wild when they haven't eaten in so long.
