Wandering not interested in Food

Jocephus Oct 01, 2008 08:28 PM

Hi all, I received the Oregon red-spots that I ordered, both adults have fed on f/t hoppers, and the baby on rosy minnows. My problem is I also got a baby wandering garter, who hasn't shown interest in any food. I've tried earthworms, and rosies (live and f/k). Does anyone have any suggestions on tricks to getting them to feed? I've kept wanderings, but always adults, and used to feed them sagebrush lizards. Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe
