Such a picky little bugger...

I've had my western hoggy for almost 2 years now and she's a wonderful little gal except for one thing....she has to be one of the most fickle little eaters i have ever had. Ever since i got her she was very very shy about feeding in front of me, i almost always had to put her inside her hide with the food to get her to eat it. Over time it got a little bit better but still would rarely eat in front of me. Not too long ago i decided to try something different and got a freshly killed adult mouse and after it was dead i made it bleed a little bit and she ate it immediately. So, once it was feeding time i tried it again and this time she didn't want anything to do with it. So, i ended up just leaving the dead mouse in front of her hide overnight and it was gone when i woke up. I'm glad she eats at least but she can be such a pain in the butt. Has anyone else every had these type of issues with hoggies?

I used to work for a breeder and we always had to give out hogs freshly killed mice... but they wouldnt take gased mice, you had to "bonk" them

I just got my first hognose in Feb., a juvenile & he eats anything I give him without hesitation. I feed f/t and he has no problem accepting it right from the tongs. He is very friendly & loves to get out, he seems to not be shy about anything. Since he is my first hoggie, I can only speak from my experience with him.
