Hognose not eating

[Craiga 01453]

I don’t have access to them but someone did suggest soaking the mice in water from the local pet stores frog tank. When I go back this week to the pet store I’m going to try that. Maybe you can too. Or get toads if you have that option.

I'd very cautious with this. Like Deb mentioned, toads can carry crypto. And in all honesty I don't trust the water at many local pet stores. I've been in the aquarium game for many years and have learned to avoid the water from the stores. I stopped buying feeder fish and started using a quarantine tank before introducing new fish into my main tank(s). I just had too many battles with fish getting sick. Once I took the pet store water out of the equation I no longer had any sick fish.

Also, when I got my Hognose boy a few years ago he wasn't eating. He had apparently eaten once in almost a year before coming to me. I followed Deb's advice to a T and have had no problems with Cosmo eating ever since. Follow Deb's advice, she knows her stuff.
