    Male Western Hognose Has Stopped Eating?

    Started about a month ago, his temps are fine, and he's always been such a hardy eater.
    He's a 2012 hatchling, his sister eats just fine, I tried giving him toads instead and he still refused.
    They're my first hognoses so I'm a bit confused on why he's not eating.

    I got him to eat a live pinky today, I guess he just doesn't want to eat frozen anymore?

    They're pre-programmed to go off feed this time of year. Even though we simulate a spring/summer environment their tiny little brains don't always realize it at first.
    I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

    I had no idea, so it's safe to put him up for sale?
    I've been holding off for a while because of his fasting.

    Disclose everything and you should have no problems.

    Re: Male Western Hognose Has Stopped Eating?

    i've had my yearling male western nose hoggie for a couple of weeks now. He's been eating a f/t medium mouse every week. I also have ballz and know they go off feed during the winter months. How long should I expect my hoggies to go off feed? He is kept in the same room as the balls so temps are pretty similar but I do keep the humidity down. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
