Re: Hasn't eaten since January
You guys are awesome! He finally ate tonight. I left him with the pinkie for about an hour or so in a deli buried under the substrate. I came back expecting to find the pinkie there, but not so! I thought maybe I was missing something because he didn't have a lump in his tummy but he must have eaten it. About what size should I move him up to fuzzies? Again, thanks so much for everyone's help!

That's great news!
My son's little mexican hognose just started eating again last month after going shutty on us for a few months. He's about 60 grams and is now pounding a small fuzzy every four days.

Re: Hasn't eaten since January
Well, he's only 16 grams so I guess I'll stick with the pinkies for now. Is once a week enough for him or should I try to feed more often?

Re: Hasn't eaten since January
Congratulations Erin!! I just stumbled on your thread and I'm glad to read the good news that your hognose is eating again. I do bet it was the temps. My larger male western hognoses don't care about the temperature drops, but the baby girls wouldn't eat for a week when I bought them, so I brought up the temperatures and they began their ravenous escapade!
My baby girl hognoses I feed them every 2-5 days, depends on the size of the meal I offer them. I also let them guide me. If they are scouring their house, they want food. If they smeared their pooh all over the walls, they want food. Some will stop eating when full, though some can keep on chowing down (like us people). It is a good plan to feed them 10-15% of their body weight as frequent as 3-4 days when they are teeny tiny like your guy and my girls.
p.s. I just weighed my baby girls (probably hatched July-Aug-Sept 2009), they are 16 gm and 23 gm. They both have doubled their weight since December!
