Re: Any other hoggie do this?
If you're considering breeding and there are breedable females in range is another reason a reptile (especially male) will stop eating. If that is not the case, a short cooling phase (brumation) can reset the reptiles feeding clock. A healthy, well adjusted animal will feed on a regular basis until enviornmental cues, pheromonal cues, or illness tells him otherwise. Make sure to offer a varied diet as well. Hognose are known to enjoy a amphibian and aquatic supplemented diet. F/t frog legs cut up is a nice alternative as is fresh thiaminase free fish such as croaker, ocean perch etc. Although a rodent based diet is considered complete nutrition, hog nose should have supplemental aquatics in their diet.
