Helping a friend. Hognose not eating for 8 months.
I have a friend that has an adult male hognose that has not eaten in 8 months. They have tried quail eggs, fish, Mice, rats, live, FT and they claim temp and humidity are spot on but I don't know readings. Suggestions? They got him as a rescue and have lots of experience with other reptiles just not hogs.

Here is what they said.
We have had the hoggie 8 months no food. Refuses everything from boiled egg to fish to frogs to lizards to mice pinks to eat pinks to brained anything.

Hmmm...I've never tried them, but hear reptilinks can get a hognose back on track. They have various "flavors" and sizes. Might be worth checking that out?

Will check it out. He looks ok for being off food for 8 months.

He's huge compared to my lil' Cosmo boy.
I'm assuming that's a recent picture?

Was told today. I will take my own photos this afternoon when I get to see him in person. Just getting off work.

I brought a small mouse live with me. Bam he slams it right away. They both were floored as he eat it. He was looking for more. They are going to offer again in 5 days and keep me posted.
