Smile Micro Hog eats!! (pics)
Everyone was so interested in this little guy. thanks for the positive feedback and concern.
Thought I'd let you know he and many siblings chowed down on good size pinks last night.
They aren't even a week old yet..
For any that didn't see my last post, this is the smallest hognose I have ever produced or seen. It hatched from an egg about the size of a blueberry.
It weighs 2 grams, but luckily they have huge mouths... It took it a couple of hours but it swallowed this big pinkie backwards.

the day he was born sitting on a toonie

The micro-hog is in the background tackling a pink feet first

Here he is full to the hilt.

i am so glad he is eating! do you think he will grow up tiny, or end up full sized? it will be interesting to see how he does.

Holy moly! I can't believe that thing.

Knit it a sock, with all that little body mass I'm sure he gets cold.

Viva Micro Hog!

Very cool little guy...

2 grams?!?

I can't even imagine a snake that small. What do they normally average(or what did the clutch average)...?

Good to hear he's doing well...
