i picked up my little western hoggie about a year ago. Between my 13 bpz and my jcp, Wilbur my hoggie has the most personality. He is always inquisitive and puts on a real show for me. My better half will only look at Wilbur and she doesn't mind holding him. I'm guessing you are interested in a western. When I acquired him, I made sure he was well established and feeding on f/t mice hoppers. He is on the same schedule as my balls and jcp and eats once a week. From what I researched, females grow larger then males. Currently, he is living in a 10 gal tank, uth, aspen bedding with 2 hides and a screen top. Humidity must be low since they live in an arid environment. Check out world of hognose for more info. I'm hoping to pick up another one next month at the NARBC in Anaheim, CA. Good luck and keep us posted.
