Hello,

I have a male hognose, one and a half year old. I am feeding him once a week, 2 pinky mouses. He is about 40cm long. Do you have any advices, is this feeding sufficient? What are your advices on it?

Time for fuzzy's
My experience tells they dont grow so fast on pinky's
so I put them on fuzzy's as soon as possible
My hatchlings from July 2009 eat fuzzy's
Grtz

I don't have his weight yet, but I will do this exercise too :D

But I have a photo...recent one...just for better feeling of his size.



Oh that I know, how big they can open their jaws...but still :D

you would be surprized how big there jaws can open my hoggie is male and at that size he was going onto fuzzies. have you got the wieght of your hoggie?

I was thinking about either a fuzzy either go put him onto 3 pinkies. Because I have noticed, that after eating 2, he keeps searching for more. Maybe it is his natural behavior, so I rather asked...
The "problem" about getting a fuzzy seems to me that his head is rather small (male), so I wouldn't want to exaggerate with prey's size.
So maybe to put him on 3 pinkies for a month or so, and then switch to fuzzy seems like an OK idea?

you could probably try a small fuzzy but hoggies seem to prefer smaller pray items. i have feed my hoggie 3 pinkies before but as soon as he had done three he went onto fuzzies
