Hognose: The good, bad and ugly....

[artgecko]

People refer to scented or unscented with hognose because many hatchlings have to be started on scented prey, this describe the process of scenting a pinky mouse with egg, tuna, chicken, or salmon etc to get them started with their first few meals.

When you buy an hatchling that feeds on unscented prey this mean all you have to offer is a mouse.

I do not recommend buying an hatchling unless it eats unscented prey and is well started.

Exactly what she said. I forget where I saw it, but one of the main breeders of morph hogs was interviewed in a video and he showed the host some scenting items in his freezer... a frog, toad, lizard, chicken, and I think he also noted that he had ever used tuna / salmon. You rub the prey item with the scented item to fool the hog into eating it as they natural eat frogs / lizards in the wild.
