Western Hognose Back on Feed!! Woo Hoo
It could be coincidence, or it could be that "Lizard Maker" is a mircale cure.
I have a Western Hognose, that was supposed to be a female, but is pretty small, so we're wondering if "she's a he". Either way the little bugger went off feed about 4 months ago, at the time she weighed 72 grams.
We offered every possible combination of prey/preparation and location (in enclosure, out, in but inside another box), and she didn't seem to care.
She was down to 53 grams so I decided to try some lizard maker just for giggles and she ate a fuzzy.
The next night was regular feeding night for the rest of the snakes and while we were moving mice around she came out of her hide and was looking up at us from her enclosure. For grins we put a drop of lizard maker on a fuzzy and she ate it.
24 hours after the seconf fuzzy, she was up to 64 grams. About 30 hours after the second fuzzy she took a massive (for her) dump, it was normal looking, still a little wet with a small urate plug at one end.
Post poop weight was 60 grams. I'm going to attempt to feed her pretty often and see if I can get her up and over her pre-winter weight.
I might just buy a case of lizard maker.
