Feeding Problems

If he doesn't eat again tonight I'll reweigh and contemplate assist feeding. If he gets down to 19 grams from 24 I'll probably dust off the pinky pump. Wish me luck!

Hognose can be very exasperating, but adorable snakes.....when my males were off feed, they would act like mini cobras when I offered food, flattening out and hissing like banshee's....my female on the other hand never refuses a meal....

I get all the huffing and puffing and flattening too if I try to entice him with it, but I was worried the added stress would prolong the hunger strike.

Didn't eat it last night, so I weighed him. 20 grams still down from 24. 1 more and I'll probably assist feed. Fingers crossed.
