Re: 1.0 snow
Cool looking hoggie! I would give him more time. What prey are you offering? What prey item was the seller feeding him? Check your temps and if he continues to refuse food you may have to brumate him for about 4 to 6 weeks. Sometime they need to be cooled down and then brought back up to appropriate temp. Before they resume feeding. Grats.

the seller said he was feeding him unscented mouse pinkies; and his tub is 84.5 degrees.
he's only 9 grams btw.

That's low for a hot spot for a hog.
How big is your tub and do you have a nice layer of aspen (2 inches or so) so it can burrow?

6 qt tub, and he does have enough aspen to dig into.

I would bump the temps a little.
And if it does not eat still I would (even if it is a step backward) try scenting with various things such as Tuna, Chicken broth, Anchovies (those have worked well for me with stubborn hatchlings)
It's not ideal but better than an animal that does not eat.

Oh so cute! I just got my first little normal girl last week and she hasn't eaten for me yet either. I've offered twice, the first time she just ignored me. The second time she threw a literal hissy fit lol. Hope he starts eating for you soon!
