Frogs

[SpyrotheGartersnake]

i'm looking for frogs to feed to my new caught eastern(pics soon!) if anyone is willing to sell me some please let me know any kind of frogs will do!

i have a fair amount of frogs but i cant sell them to you what i did is i found a pond it was very abundant with them and i bought a long butterfly net then to get the frogs i looked for frogs that were sunning themselves on the edge of the pond and i stuck the net out behind them then quickly trapped them in the net its not that easy to do you mis like 65% of the time but i wound up with 23

then you can toss the extra frogs in a baggie then into the freezer to freeze them then you have to run them under water \to unstick them and place them on a tray in the freezer to freeze them seperately after they are fully frozen they can be placed in a baggie again and they won't stick together

Don't you feel that is rather cruel to the frogs??

frogs may be a natural food source for garters, but isn´t it easier to switch the garters to tawed fish that you can by at the next food or pet shop?

isn't it cruel to the pinkies that get frozen?

the frozen fish i feed to george i can't seem to get checkers onto the fish

tried thawed fish(didn't work) tried pinkies mice(he didn't even touch it) tried worms and slugs(he kept regurtating them) and haven't tried frogs yet and what kind of live feeder fish can i feed him the local pet store has guppies, rosy reds(out of the question),and goldfish(also out of the question),feeder crawfish(haven't tried it) and that's pretty much it and the only amphiabians they had were Bufo Toads,Cubean tree frogs,newts,tiger salamanders

Have you tried 'scented' pink mice? You may have to use frogs just once, if you can trick him onto pinkies. It will be much easier in the long run.

Spyro, how long ago did you catch the snake? I wouldn't say rosy reds or even goldfish are out of the question short term. One meal of either one shouldn't hurt an adult garter. Depending on how long this hunger strike has been going on I would try the rosy reds and see if that'll get him started then you can switch him to something else. My guy probably lived a year or so on mostly rosy reds with an occasional worm before I knew better. What kind of prey is found in the snakes natural habitat?

Garters INHALE newts....

They will freebase anphibians if they are healthy Garter snakes.
