my female garter snake ate two fuzzies and two pinkies what a pig I need to go get more pinkies for my male snakes

lol next time why don't you just feed her 3 fuzzies? cheaper that way

[BeardedIggy]

oh well the pinkies were for the other snakes but they weren't eating them and i didnt want them to go to waste so i fed them to the female

Best to keep the fuzzies for other snakes. Garters have a tough time digesting fur. Like, I *think* they don't... Not postive, but I think that's what I've read here.

Watch your female; that's a LOT to get down at once. Now's not the best time of year - due to snakes naturally slowing down, if they they don't brumate - to fill a snake up like that.

Make sure you've got good warm temps for her to gravitate to so she can digest that huge meal.

Smaller meals, on a more frequent basis, are better than huge meals.

o well... in that case lol glad you found a use for them lol

had no problems with mine passing fur....most of the time its digested...but sometimes fur passes.

Most of my females do well with fuzzies.

Both of my adults, male and female, pound fuzzies with no ill effects. Sly's main diet for at least a year has been fuzzies... pinkies when I run out of fuzzies... and the occasional live fish. My fuzzies aren't really very fuzzy, tho, so who knows

Ms. Ella hasn't been here very long, but has been eating like there's no tomorrow! I don't know if she's bulking up for winter or what, but I swear she'd eat everyday if I let her. She makes me feel guilty every day

its so cool to watch the snakes eat the way they will lick it 5 times and say "hey that tastes like fish" then open their mouth and grab hold and slowly shove it down.
