    my king wouldn't take rats, and I found that I needed to get him started on a rat that was quite a bit smaller than the mice he was used to

    My Fl. blues are eating rat pups, dropped in with their live minnows. (They are the only garters I have that are big enough to eat rat pups) All my other garters aren't eating, but when they start I plan to try some chopped for them.

    I've had less problems getting garters to take rats, once they take mice, than with king snakes

    I got a good deal on 100 pinky rats, mostly for Chomper, My 2 bigger female easterns will eat mice or pinky rats with just a little fish scent.

    I like the rats better, no hair.
