Cool looking hoggie! I would give him more time. What prey are you offering? What prey item was the seller feeding him? Check your temps and if he continues to refuse food you may have to brumate him for about 4 to 6 weeks. Sometime they need to be cooled down and then brought back up to appropriate temp. Before they resume feeding. Grats.

I want one!! My hoggy has just gone off feed due to weather.

That's low for a hot spot for a hog.

How big is your tub and do you have a nice layer of aspen (2 inches or so) so it can burrow?

6 qt tub, and he does have enough aspen to dig into.

I would bump the temps a little.

And if it does not eat still I would (even if it is a step backward) try scenting with various things such as Tuna, Chicken broth, Anchovies (those have worked well for me with stubborn hatchlings)

It's not ideal but better than an animal that does not eat.

i tried salmon and hot dog water.

i'll give those other things a shot.

and i just bumped up the temperature a few degrees. i'll check on the tub in a little bit.

The joy of Hognose, the good thing is that once they really get started good on mice they are garbage disposal especially the females.
