I pushed as much of it as I could out..... think I got most of it...... so then today I go in and there he is again lifeless in a DIFFERENT bowl!!!!!!! has he got a death wish or what????? he's fine again...... just a little shaken and cold...... but this is rediculous!!!!! what do I do??? I took out the larger water dish...... but today I found him in the smaller??????sorry I haven't been on so much..... busy holiday times and internet at my house has been down for a while..... so i've only been able to get on on my phone and at school.....

Re: garter with a death wish???
Shanley, I have no answers. Best to keep a very close eye on him... there may be an underlying problem.

Re: garter with a death wish???
I hope not.....
he slept while I was feeding the others in the cage a while after I rescued him the first time..... very odd for him as he is usually trying to steel their food........ idk..... I hope he's alright?????

Re: garter with a death wish???
Hopefully I'm wrong, Shanley... but it can't hurt to keep an eye on him. See if there are changes in his general behaviour, or other signs that might suggest something isn't right with him.

Re: garter with a death wish???
It's a difficult one, Shanley. I might be tempted to make sure he has a drink, then remove the water bowl. I don't know, but we wouldn't want a drowning accident.

Re: garter with a death wish???
I am stumped too Shanley, I'd give him a drink like James said, and take out the water bowl.
Or use a very shallow water bowl with barely a puddle on the bottom.
