    Mira, the arboreal tree hognose!


    She hasn't eaten yet, but I'm not too worried about that. She's still adjusting. I was going to try giving her some boiled egg whites. I read that hoggies love them. But I was curious if they could eat the yokes too? She's turned down her tuna and salmon scented pinkies. She was eating like a champ before I picked her up, I'm assuming she'll get back on track once I get my 40 watt CHE for her today to get her temps up to par.

    Unless your hognose is not eating and is failing to thrive I would not recommend feeding anything other than mice. Feeding eggs or fish, frog or even scented prey is 2 step backward, if it eats mice feed mice.

    If she was eating fine before on unscented than you need to assess your husbandry fix it and than be patient.
