Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Oops.
Seems the post before me had a similar question! Just to clarify, my little girl took the pinky fine. I'm just wondering about the snapping. Don't want to stress her out or anything. I also don't want to feed her too much or too little.

I have some that get hissy and dramatic when I feed, and sometimes they strike at their food before eating. I think hoggies are just little drama queens.
It seems normal for them, and they all have their own weird personalities. I have a very sweet male who only ever gives me attitude right after I feed him when I go to put him back in his tub, and a little female who always hisses and coils when I go to handle her. I have others that never fuss at all.
Your little one sounds pretty normal to me, especially for a youngster. I feed my young ones every four days, if that helps, and they seem to do well on that. Just keep handling her gently for short periods of time and she should settle down as she grows up. It can help to pick up a little snake hook or something if you're worried about getting nipped when you reach into her enclosure, although true biting is rare.

Thanks.
Thanks for replying! Yeah, she's calmed down some and doesn't "mouth" me anymore. Guess she was hungry/nervous. Thanks for your input!

I have 6 Hogs now. 2 males and 4 females. The females act like their starved to death even though they eat every 3-4 days. I've fed them on back to back days, twice in one day, small meals, and bigger meals. All will rip the mouse from the tongs or eat right off the ground. They never change. All 4 are crazy psycho feeders every single time. The males on the other hand never want to be bothered. They hiss, strike(well pretend to strike. It's more an act), fly around their cage, and never take their meals from tongs. They want it on the ground and me gone asap. As long as their eating, drinking water, and going to the bathroom then their all ok with me.

I forgot to mention my males are also not consistent feeders. They'll sometimes eat every feeding for maybe 2-4 weeks then decide they want to eat maybe every 10 days or so. Sometimes even longer. Their like people..Eat eat eat and then go on a diet, eat eat eat and then go back on their diet.

I never do. I feed inside the same enclosure they live in.
