Stink like a hog?

[Shmoges]

Is it just Our hognoses or do these things stink like a farm? they eat the same as everyone else but ooffddaaa you open that tub and the farm smell comes out.

Yes we spot clean and change water frequently and change bedding every few months. when I put them in a small cup for feeding it gets stinky in there. I wonder if its there venom/saliva?

Mine doesn't smell. That's strange:hmm:

[vendettaseve]

Hoggies musk when they are stressed.... or when they feel like musking, its one of their strong self defense tools, ontop of the playing dead trick they do.. its all a ruse to make them look and smell like they are dead and rotting, and not edible.

[CDN_Blood]

You should smell Giant Hognose (Leioheterodon madagascariensis). They're absolutely awful. When one of those dumps it'll make your whole house wreak. Nasty, those things.

[shaunyboy]

my mates hoggies smell if they musk or have a poo

i'll take carpet poo over hoggies everytime :yes:

cheers shaun

[Shmoges]

It doesn't smell like musk to me, more like "farm" and the female doesn't do anything defensive ie hissing pissing or anything. The male on the other hand is a hissy little thing, but I have never seen either of them musk like i remember garters musking when I caught them years ago.

I'm with Shaun, if I have my choice I'd rather clean up after a 6kg carpet that a 300gm hog. All but one of mine put out that odor. I don't think its musk because they are all very calm, my vote is poo.

You know how when something is going on we're like "Post pics of it so we can see!" Imagine if we could ask "post a smell of it!" so we could smell what you're talking about. LOL. But I'm kind of glad we can't do that. Sounds like it smells awful and I want nothing to do with it :p

Please avoid posting a smell, its a bad idea.... esp if its coming from your hoggies.

[Shmoges]

Or a how to re create the smell.

Ingredients:
hay
water
dirt
horse poo
mix it all up in a bucket and take a big whiff, It doesn't smell good but for some reason you take whiff after whiff like you almost like it....

lol
scratch and sniff forum.

I have to say I like the smell of a farm.. although I wouldn't want that smell in my bedroom.

I used to shovel stalls out at a friends barn and I loved it... Maybe Im a little off but.......ehhh

[millertime89]

you're nuts Kat, but we all knew that already.

[Gungirl]

:crazy2: I'm ok with that!

:wacky:
its ok, we're all a little crazy here.

[jaleely]

oh alessia, perish the thought! no smell-o-anythings!

And my hoggies smell fine. They all stink when they poo, and i notice theirs smells a little different, and when they are eating (they sometimes go on strike for no reason) they poo and pee a lot. Perry, my tiny baby boy hasn't had a meal since we got him. He's not lost any weight that i can tell, and in fact, he looks a little thicker. He hisses and flares sometimes though ..i've noticed both my hoggies don't like to eat after the oteher snakes have been around, or if the dogs have wandered over.
Copper went on a three month strike, after eating 3 pinkies, then moving up to 10 fuzzies. Since then she's eaten a fuzzy every couple weeks. She ate the other day, but hasn't poo'd in a while.

I digress.... : )

Really i can't say who i'd rather smell. Between the balls, the boas, the hogs, the corns, the lizzard the bird and the dogs....and my husband...i don't really want to smell ANY poop *lmao*

[jaleely]

oh i got typing and forgot to ask...what bedding do you have them on? I had coconut husk at first, but the hogs actually like it a bit dryer, and that holds moisture...and poop/pee smell, really well. It was hard to spot clean. So I switched my girl to all aspin bedding, and found that has worked really well. I've tried coconut husk with a dash of aspin, on other things, to keep the moisture and add a little freshness.

*sniff sniff* **GAG** "OMG That smell putrid! Here, you smell!" LOL


I agree with Kat, I love the smell of a farm, unless it is a hog farm or strictly chicken/turkey farm. **Gags**

One day, my friends, technology will let us share smells across the internet. Then ya'll will know the deliciousness of the perfume I wear ;)

Edit: and if someone shares hog poop smell with us, we can send fabreeze their way too!

[youngster]

One day we will be able to hologram ourselves into a room to talk to each other face to face like in Star Wars :)

Kinda creepy.. I like my private space. No holograms welcome... lol

its already possible, just not commercially viable. Non-glasses 3d technology coupled with a special 3d camera and a high-speed internet connection.

[Shmoges]

I use shaved aspen bedding for them. One thing I'm suprized this forum doesn't have is an instant message option where everyone can log in and group off if they want and have insta messages. no insta smells or holograms though....

[alessia55]

The facebook ssnakess page has a chat... but hardly anyone uses it. I actually like it that this forum doesn't have a mass chat thing though. Keeps things cleaner and contained to the threads :)

[sassy_snake_lady]

My hognose doesn't smell at all. His poo smells quite bad but hey, who's doesn't lol

When he hasn't poo'd his tub smells pretty fresh. He doesn't musk now, used to when I first got him and that was awful.

[Shmoges]

Maybe ours need a good soak and a scrub? lol

[jaleely]

i've heard you can use baby shampoo on their bodies, just not the head. I guess i lucked out that mine don't musk! my girl has only ever been scared and played dead once, the first day i got her...and she did the WHOLE deal...blah *lol*

[kernel]

Mine has never musked or played and she's a little baby.

[jaleely]

my tiny baby boy has only flared and hissed a few times. Never played dead or musked. I have to admit, though, that the first time (and only time) our girl hissed, flared, then flopped over ...and musked blah!...was SO CUTE. I felt so bad for her, yet i couldn't stop thinking it was soooo cute! lol
had her for like half a year now and she's never done anything since.

you're clearly not on when everyone else is. Mornings are BUSY.

[youngster]

Yeah, I'm usually lurking on it. Stephan and Kyle use it a lot along with multiple other people.
