just been to the reptile shop and took my hog. wouldnt eat for them either but am assured he is healthy and appears well. have bought a UV bulb to try and increase his light,turn up his temperature a little, also have a new hide for him to see if its a security issue. hopefully this will get him to feed. will keep perseveering.
female hoggy ate today after a coupel of weeks of not so one down, one to go
thanks again for all the advice

I think you are taking good steps there Scubamedic - all should help and be encouraging to his appetite.
Males are normally worse eaters than females. My hoggy once went 9 weeks without food, but he started again. I think they just don't like stress, so take a long time to settle in when coming to a new home.
When is weight loss a worry?
