Berber King;3805357; said:If a garter is refusing trout and earthworms,they may be something wrong! Couple of things: They are normally hibernating at this time,What are your temperatures? Also,although many people dont,i like to treat them more like lizards,with UV and a guarded basking spot-light.You could also try a defrost pinkie.
You know garters because they do "bask" around here. They do seem to enjoy sun rays .
