Never had a hoggie before, they are cute though. I have read that it is common for male hoggies to be difficult feeders. Some breeders and keepers would have a Pac man frog or lizard and scent the prey by rubbing it against their back. They claim to have success with that and then transition back to no-scenting over time. Not saying you should go this route yet, but it is an option should he continue to refuse food, so don't give up! The worry and anxiety of trying to feed a baby snake... It will be all worth the hard work and patience when he eats for you.
