not feeding

[lestat]

My little baby Floridor blue garters are not eating since i bought them home on
Wednesday 2nd of April. I have tried them on Garter Grub and Salmon. I have just put some Lance fish in with them and am hoping for some result.
i will look in on them later but am not holding my breath. should i try to force feed them if no luck. any advice on how to do so. thank you.

Two or three weeks without feeding isn't unusual for Garters just settling in at a new environment. Nothing to worry about yet.

As Sid says, it's too early to consider force-feeding just yet.

thank you Sid and thank you James for your kind advice

Try to spray some water into the encloser before offering food next time
and/or offer earthworms.

Try putting them in a feeding chamber with damp paper towels, several small nightcrawlers (or appropriate sized pieces) and leave them in the dark overnight.

i always get results if i rub a dead gold fish or minnow on what i want them to eat, i don't feed them the fish though...
