I have an Eastern garter that will not switch to pinkies for any reason. I have tried scenting with fish but he will not go for it.

Right now he is eating very well on Rosy Reds and thawed silversides. Its too cold here now for earthworms so I am stuck with fish throughtout the winter. Are there any fish that do not contain Tiaminase, and will supplementing the diet with thiamine help to countereact the thiaminase.

Is trout a good food, and if so is frozen thawed OK. He would be eating better than me but if thats what it takes right.

Thanks

Steve
