When it comes to temperatures your temps war too low for this species you want to aim for 26 on the cool side and 32/33 on the warm side, with an ambient humidity 20%/30%A month ago I got two hogs, an alleged boy(currently 56g) and an alleged girl (currently 46g), first kept them in the small containers I got them in, two weeks later moved them into bigger containers with about 3-6cm aspen. Temperature is 23ish Celsius in the cool corner and around 29 in the warm corner, keeping humidity around 40-45%. Setup in the pictures.

They drink however catching them in action is very rare, as for the rest Hognose are pooping machine, fecal matter is usually stringy, not firm, that would be the best way I would describe it, accompanied by urate. All this dry very fast and becomes chalky within a day or 2.How frequently do they usually poop? Is once in 10 days a cause for concern? What is healthy poop for them?
i am concerned and wondering how I can make sure to get them drinking, and I wanted to get some opinions before I stress them out by a trip to the vet which I am not sure is necessary or not.
Unlike BP what goes in comes out rather quickly granted those animals are properly fed, at this size a small hopper twice a week if what you are aiming for when it comes to feeding.
