Feeding Garters Shrimp? Possible?

[drache]

I think frozen is better
thaw before feeding - that's the amount of prep required

[snakeman]

A lot of garters do eat pinks in the wild

You aren't supposed to thaw in hot water, you're supposed to thaw them in cool to room temp. water.

Personally, I just set them out on the cutting board to thaw.

[kibakiba]

Cut it up in strips and thaw, then feed.

If I were you I would see were it was caught first. If it's from out of country. I wouldn't use it.
Not safe.
Just my opinion.

[kibakiba]

I have to agree with Steve. I don't trust much from out of country, especially not when it's going to be fed to my snakes. You don't really know how it was caught or where.

How about cananda? Ive been looking for se good tilapia, or trout, and I find some, but it's all alsaka and Canada....

[guidofatherof5]

I am rapidly losing faith in any store bought fish in my area.
I have bought Canada salmon without too much trouble.
I still have snakes react in negative ways(convulsions. puking)

I'll probably stick with silversides. I keep forgetting about how bad fillet can be...
