Rosy reds are on the blacklist.

A steady diet of Rosey's can be bad. Check out the care sheet and look for thiaminase. Plain or scented you'll just have to see what works.

To switch over to pinkies try using some guppies or platys how you normally feed but also put in chopped up pinkie and the snake should grab it mistaking it for fish n eat it anyways. next time do less fish n mostly pinkies.. :)
Try earth worms or nightcrawlers as well. Most garters go nuts for worms!
