I am aware that some people have some troubles with getting baby hognose to eat, but the majority of the ones I have hatched take pinkies right off, sometimes in only a few days. The ones that eat first I keep, and have been doing so for a great many years...So the eating problem might run in bloodlines, and certainly using first feeders for hold backs for the next generations should produce more and more good mouse feeders.
Occasionally they will eat once or twice then stop. Brumation is sometimes the key, as this would be normal for them in the wild where they'd be lucky to eat once or twice before winter.
Here's a 5 day old nasicus eating a live pinkie

Hey.... That looks really red? What's up with that?

Nuclear hoggies?

I think I have to probe our red ones, I don't think it is 1.1 - they are equal size, but bigger than our other males, but smaller than our females. I've been putting it off, our probes keep finding themselves misplaced.

Yes, I produce some reddish ones, and some black and white ones and everything in between all in the same litters. I even produced a semi pin striped weird one which I still have... Hoping to make striped hogs some day, but not soon. I've only produced one like this out of hundreds
I can't believe my gallery is full already.. I had to shrink the photo
