i have a baby hognose i recieved 10/7 i was guaranteed he ate voluntarily twice before he was sold however i've only gotten him to eat once.... and it was half a pinkie draped over hard boiled egg whites. ive tried doing this again but he pushes the pinkie out of the way and only eats the egg whites. so im wondering how to scent a pinkie with egg whites. ive tried tuna, sardine, salmon but he wont even go near that stuff, i dont blame him i dont like seafood either haha. im going to a grocery store tomorrow to look for frozen frog legs but im not sure he'll take that either even though hes a frog eating species im willing to try anything other than force feeding! but if anyone has tips as to scenting pinkies with hard boiled egg whites, ive tried heating the egg whites and pinkie in the same bag but it didnt work. i have a corn that eats 2 rats every 2 weeks throughout the year so im also not familiar with the hibernating species. i love my hognose and want him eating regurlary, and if he could lose a little attitude thatd be awesome but hes a baby so i understand his bluffing hes still amazing either way, i never regret him
hes 6 1/2" in a 10g tank with ceramic heat emitter hot side is 92, cool side 84 he has a small water dish and so many hides and decorations you can barely see the substrate. im not concerned that his cage and setting is the issue
but please help if you think you can!
baby wont eat pinkie
