Hi everyone. I feel bad posting this because I know theres so many posts on hognoses not eating.. I've spent hours looking through old posts on getting them to eat and so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong exactly.

I got my male hognose (3 mths old) on the 24th October this year and the breeder said he was eating really well on unscented (she gave me a piece of paper with all his feeds on).

If u read my other post, u will know she fed him the day before I picked him up and so he regurgitated that on the way back home. So I put him in his enclosure and left him 2 weeks to recover. (His enclosure is a 3 litre RUB, heatmat on one side set to 31 degrees C, ambient temp of 24-26 degrees C, a toilet roll tube, a small water bowl and a few inches of aspen).

I first offered him a pinky by showing it to him first (he hissed) and so I left it in there on a plastic lid so it was off the bedding. He didnt touch it. I bought him a feeding dish which I now keep in there. I offered again 3 or 4 days later but this time I just put it straight in the dish so he didnt see me. Still didnt touch it. This time, I waited a week to try again. So i put it in the dish today but he was out exploring so he saw me and hissed. Last night I stuck paper round the outside of his RUB so he couldn't see any movement but hes now just been buried all day after putting the food in.

Also, I did handle him in the first week of having him (2 or 3 times, 1 time was to weigh him - 14g) but since then Ive completely stopped.

Should I try scenting? Surely if he was eating F/T unscented before, he would be fine? I cant try feeding live as I'm in the UK and live feeding is illegal here.
