| hiya guys, just some advice please, not been on for a while as wrapping my business up and looking for new job! had my little hoggie 'Frank' for about 8 weeks now, he has been feeding with no probs, right little gannet! hes gaining anything from 2g a week up to 5g a week. when i first weighed him he was 17g he is now 30g is this about right? he is now on fuzzies and has been for about 4 weeks now,was feeding him every 5 days on pinkies but now feeding him every 6/7 days. Thanks! |

| Small frequent meals is the way to go with hognose snakes. I feed my adult male (around 100 grams) a hopper every 5 days, and the females get an adult mouse or two every 5 days. Any hognose snakes younger than 2 years old get a small meal every 4 days. That's the way I feed, and a lot of other breeders here in North America do the same with great success. |

| ok thanks, thats what i was doing, but he always seemed to be searching for more. will look for smaller fuzzies and swap to 4 days again then cos he's only 8mth old. |
