My checkard garter is eating pinkys right now.

I am going to start breeding mice soon.. and already accidently bred once. (long story)

I have three live pups. I was wondering if my garter could eat them?

The garter is 11" long. After he eats a pinky.. he looks like he could go for another one. The pups are aprox. 2" long.

He could probably take all 3 in a go; they're pigs! I usually limit mine to 1 per week, so you could feed one or two and freeze the rest for later.

I froze two.. and my garter coulding get is mouth around one to swallow...

Poo...

I tookthe pup out of it's mouth. It looks like it was gonna hurt it to keep trying to eat it. It at no point had it's mouth around it enough. I waited 15 - 20 minutes.

Guess I'll be picking up a pinky tommorrow.

I thought by "pups" you meant pinkies. I guess I'm just not familiar with that term. They keep for a long time in the freezer, so you can feed them out when your snake is a bit bigger.
