scenting for hognose

[johnnycash]

if i have to end up scenting to get my hognose to eat, what types of animals could i sent with? i.e. could i use a blue tongue skink to scent?

Is it a Western Hognose? If it is, you really should not have to scent it. Try placing it in a very small lidded container with a towel or shirt over it and the mouse of appropriate size. Leave it for an hour or so and check back. If it's an Eastern, then you may have to scent if it's very young or not used to rodents. Mine is young and would be willing to eat anything put in front of him. He has yet to miss a meal for me. Good luck!

If you have to scent, use a frog and not a blue tongue skink.

Before you try scenting, try my technique. I posted it in your other topic about the feeding problem.
