What species is it? What are you offering it for food? A few species can be more specialized in their diet. Most species should take either feeder fish or earthworms if their basic environmental needs are met. I would make sure the temperature is appropriate during the day and doesn't drop too low at night. You might also double check that it has a suitable hide as some snakes go off feed simply out of insecurity. You may want to make sure it is located in a low traffic area as well. If those issues are met you can keep trying either fish or earthworms. Garters are usually pretty adaptable to captive conditions and tolerant of the most basic husbandry. Personally I would not try to convert most Garters to pinkies until it is established on other food sources. I would also keep working with it and forgo “hibernating” it. Worst case scenario is that there is a pathological cause for its anorexia.
