    I hear Eastern Hognose are hard to switch, that's why the majority of people buy Western Hognose's.

    Are you sure it's an Eastern hognose? Western hognose are much more common in the pet trade

    I will echo the suggestion of ReptiLinks frog scent and also note that they sell frog links as well that you could use (my westerns live the frog and the rabbit and the iguana links)

    I caution using a live frog to scent as they frequently harbor their own parasites that can be passed on to the snake (like lung flukes). And yes, that includes a cheap frog bought at a pet store which is most likely a WC
