Send HALP! Stuck with feeder rat!

From what I had heard, they would strike, kill and eat. She didn't eat it (which apparently was a blessing in disguise).

Yeah, outside the garter community (and even there knowledge of it is kind of spotty) I've found people just generally aren't aware of the Thiaminase issue. It's kind of surprising since the effects can be so serious, but I guess fish are only major feeders for a few species.

I didn't really think twice about it, but I'm glad she didn't eat the goldfish. I'm surprised she struck at it.

There's something about the movement of fish. I have a tank of guppies for the exact reason that I often get non-eating babies (usually garters, but still).
