Why wont she eat her pinkies?

I got some babies that were started on pinky parts, and the boys decided to starve themselves after they arrived at my home. After four weeks, I gave in and started feeding them earthworms because at that point I figured it was better to give in and let them have worms and wait until they get to be larger before trying to get them back on pinkies. My adult garters have learned to eat pinkies scented with earthworms, except JC prefers her pinky served with an earthworm wrapped around it. Then she eats the PINKY first and the worm for dessert!

I intend to feed my boys at home how I feed Winnie - with a varied diet. I may not use WC fish with the boys, but I intend to give them fish and pinkies. I've got to think about the worms, though. The worms I give Winnie are from the park and have no pesticides, etc. I suppose angle worms that have been farmed would be okay.

Besides being able to give Winnie a variety that I'm assuming she'd like (shrugs shoulders) by giving different foods I'm not caught hanging should that particular food become no longer available. Example, fish - from the river - and worms can't be had during certain parts of the year. Hence me wanting to Winnie on f/t and thankfully she didn't hesitate.

So, I've two reasons for wanting to give my snakes a varied diet. And I'm happy with my choice.
