18 newborn checkered garters!! What to feed ??

bertie Sep 30, 2003 11:53 PM

First of all what a suprise to see all these 18 babies in the cage with my adult garter I got a month ago, What is a good food source?? Red wigglers or some worms of some type? they look to small to eat night crawlers like mom! Please let me know as soon as possible!

Thanks Bertie

Try feeding them worm pieces, pinky pieces, small fish pieces, or baby tree frogs and toads. Make sure the worms are not raised on manure or anything toxic. It shouldn't take too long to get them to a size where they will take newborn pinks and whole, feeder fish.
