My garter hasn't ate since dec 15th. I have been offering a fuzzy every feed day since.. it just doesn't seem interested. I leeve the fuzzy inthere for aprox 3 hours.

It's still plump and active... should ? I be worried?

I bought some rosie reds and it is eating them. About 2 every 5 days.

I guess I will have to start scenting the fuzzies. X_X

One question for the more experienced though. I have a green tree frog, should I rub the fuzzy on him or a fish?

I broke down and am feeding it rosie reds. I have two left.

I'm going to try scenting the fuzzies. Should I scent is with my green tree frog or a fish?

Well, he's eating the fish, so it would make sense to me to scent with fish--something you know he'll recognize as food.
