He was WC... My cat almost killed him... If he was out in the wild whats to say he did eat crickets or any bugs for that matter... I know he loves toads but anything you look up on them it says they eat small crickets and toads and such... Come on there's not pinky mice that show up magically every time a garter gets hungry lol .. I'm pretty sure they can digest the exo skeloton or we wont have them our in the wild today...
