I am going to try to feed my new baby hognose a 1 day old f/t pinkie tomorrow. My question is how often should I feed her? We feed our other snakes every 7 days. Should I feed her more like every 5 days, or is weekly okay?

I agree- hoggys have a good metabolism, so 5 days is better than 7 for hatchlings.

i would stick to mice my self as they wont take anything bigger than a medium-large mouse when fully grown so works out cheaper than rats. i feed my hoggie in daylight hours when he tends to be awake
