    Hognose feeding?

    Ok Hogger experts I have a question for you.

    I am not really sure how much I should be feeding this little guy. He is six months old. The seller told me he was being fed a pinkie every 5 days. Which is what I have been doing. Leaves a nice little lump in his belly.

    However he either keeps trying to eat the deli cup (I know, weird) or within two days he is really acting like he wants to eat again. I know they are active during the day, but he gets really active on feeding days.

    Should I be feeding him 2 pinkies every seven days? Or just stay on the 1 pinkie every 5 days. I heard these guys can get fat quick. I really don't want to over feed him, but I don't want him under fed either.

    I need a healthy medium.

    He is 6 months old, about 8 inches long. I don't have a weight on him. He just ate yesterday so I can get a weight on him tomorrow if needed.

    I think, about 2-3 pinkys every feeding should be ok.
