never heard of them eating minnows before.

I did meet a guy who got his eating mice. He rubbed tadpoles on FT mice and then put the mice in the cage with 1 tadpole. The mudsnake ate the tadpole, then the pinky. After a while, he was just feeding it tadpole scented pinkies. Later, it would eat regular pinkies. Now the snake is an abult and eats FT rats
