    Question not feeding.

    humm.

    i got this male hognose in january-2010.
    he was a good eater. feed him 1 fuzzy in between 5-7 days. he has refuse feeding for 3 times now, that 3 weeks since he last ate. he's not dropping weight or anything. i tried smearing lizard blood on his last fuzzy, still no interest in feeding.

    show i worry? he's just 60-grams last i weighted. He's active, always running about in his tub.

    Next to his tub is a female. She has no problems in feeding. Last weight 70-grams.

    Re: not feeding.

    I would scent a mouse with lizard blood and leave the fuzzy in there over night, if you try feeding during the day they may not take it. They are most active at night.
    Hope this helps =D

    I wouldn't resort to scenting after only missing three meals (unless it actually lost significant weight in that time). Especially if it was feeding well before.
