you give it a small mouse every once in a while. but if it dosent eat it than give him a big small or medium cricket depending on its size YOU GET TWO STICKS AND PUT THEIR FOOD ON ONE STICK AND LET THEM EAT IT. IF IT SARTS TO EAT THE STICK THEN USE THE OTHER STICK TO GENTLEY PUSH IT AWAY. My brother-in-law said to feed a garter snake when its a baby feed it crickets or little little goldfish..NOT mice So yea if you wanna contact me my AIM is pokemondude723 or my e-mail Pokemondude723@aim.com
If your snake is between 0-9 months old feed an appropriately sized* item every 5 days.
If your snake is between 9-12 months feed an appropriately sized* item every 6 days.
If your snake is between 1-3 years feed it an appropriately sized* item every 10 days
If your snake is over 3 years feed it an appropriately sized* item every 14 days.
* Appropriate sized item is a prey item that has a girth 1.5 times the girth of your snake. For example, if your snake girth is the size of a US dime, you should be feeding it a prey item that has a girth the size of a US nickel. If your snakes girth is the size of a US nickel, you should be feeding it prey that has a girth the size of a US quarter.
Girth is defined as: The distance around something; the circumference. The way we define girth is the distance around the thickest/widest part of the body.
this is actually a complicated question. depending on where the garter snakes habitat is and the other animals that make up its food chain, a garter snakes diet can vary in three ways. some garter snakes eat fish and frogs if they live near water, some can eat mice or rats if they live in a plain or Forrest, some can even eat slugs and worms! but most fall into the general category where they will eat almost any of the above they can find.
Wild snakes can be tricky. There not used to being in captivity so give it some time. Try giving them feeder guppies from a pet store my wild garters go crazy for them. Also most garter snakes wont refuse earthworms but make sure their nightcrawlers. Also its VERY hard to starve a snake so when they get hungry enough they will eat. Hope this helped
minnow. earthworm. pinky mice. or even toads. if u feed them minnows you should buy a vitamin/calcium powder and sprinkle some on the fish every other feeding. i personally use flukers.
They eat 2 or 3 earthworms a day i think. They eat 2 or 3 earthworms a day i think. They eat 2 or 3 earthworms a day i think.
The vast majority of garter snakes do not constrict their prey in coils, instead they maneuver the food item using their mouth, until it is in position to be swallowed using jaw muscles.
Wherever you bought the snake from - unless you took it from its natural habitat !
you should feed any snake once a week. altough they can go a few months or even years without eating. you should set a specific day every week for feeding.

No, bunnies are much too large for the average garter snake to swallow.
a common garter snake feeds on small rabbits, mice, gophers, and squirrels, birds, leeches, lizards, pinkies (baby mice), small frogs. Small garters eat small minnows, but not too big as they cant digest it.Crickets are bad for them, as they can't digest the shell. Earthworms have no nutritional value for them.Food is swallowed whole. Garter snakes often adapt to eating whatever they can find, and whenever. Although they feed mostly upon live animals, they will sometimes eat eggs as well.
Baby garter snakes fend for themselves from the moment they are born.
