    Feeding my baby Hog

    So, I know it may be a little soon for this question. Ive had my Hog island for 3 days and I know from talking to the breeder that it has been exactly a week since he last ate. I offered him a live rat pinky and he seemed scared of it. I waited until tonight and offered him a f/t mouse and he seemed more curious than he was towards the rat but still ignored it. Should I wait another day maybe a week? Any advice? Thanks in advance,
    Gonzo

    I suggest waiting a week, poor critter is still nervous about the move. Give him time to settle in.

    I agree. Give him a week to settle in, then offer whatever type prey the breeder was feeding...

    Both of mine ate the first day i had them. Don't know how big your hog island is but a Hopper or rat pup is an appropriate size for one that is eating.
