Benefits of feeding Trout..?

[ConcinusMan]

I feed small whole farmed trout to my garter,they are this brand [i think its the larger of the two in the picture] Ammo - Frozen Baits and Aquarium Foods .I chip small bits of the side every 2-3 days and mix it with half a chopped pinkie.Is this OK or should i change my feeding routine?

Sounds fine to me.

rainbow trout are a natural prey item in the wild.... =)

Sierra garter:

That garter seems to have eyes bigger than his stomach [typical garter]

Looks like hes got a pretty big stomach!

lol that is cute, and made me laugh. what a greedy thing!
I'm going to be hitting up the reptile show soon, and will get a nice mixture of pinky parts and trout going. (It is indeed rainbow trout).
Actually I may cut up a mouse before then, since they've been on fish for a little while and i want them to have the proper nutrition.

I've been having a trout feeding frenzy at my house, lol. The pyxie frog, the hognose snake, the garters...
I think I will cut back and make it more of a mixed food item, or a treat though. They know how to push me around, since i just like to see everyone eating!
Thank you all for the advice!

Rainbow Trout is fine,l'd be careful with calcium suppliants,they can course more trouble then their worth,l use a multi vitamin suppliant called SA 50,its the best by far,plus l do not use vitamins on every feed,if the food is fresh and whole its not needed,l use it on about every forth feed
