male hognose refusing to eat

not to bring up an old thread but did your hog ever resume feeding?

No - not yet - must be about 8 weeks now ... she's bright enough though. it's monitor feeding day today so I'm going to defrost a small mouse and see if she fancies that - if not it'll go in the r-legged scaled garbage disposal unit.

My hoggy resumed feeding last week - I was soooo pleased!! She had a fuzzy and a pinky (all I had of the right size - bad mommy!)


Tried again yesterday with a small mouse and fuzzy and she didn't want to know .... little wotsit!! :( Maybe 7 days was too quick for her, I'm going to try again on the 10th day ... I've sure my monitor will have more than a vested interest in whether she feeds or not ...

i'm glad she got a meal in... i actually ended up putting a space heater in our herp room to make sure the ambient temps stayed up. i'm in michigan, its cold.

It's pretty cold (outside) here. I'm in the UK and we actually got some snow last week :D


Well she wasn't interested on about 10th day so am going to try her again tomorrow - standby alert to Sav Monitor - could be extras LOL!!!

it was -17 with the wind chill when i went to bed last nite! i'm really glad i put that extra insulation in the basement last fall...
good luck, i'm sure she'll get back to norm.
