Feeding problems

I have a baby hognose that is not eating. I have tried scenting with tuna, Vienna sausage and a live tree frog, but no luck. Does anyone have any tricks to get a stubborn hog to eat?

Thanks

Just to get a bit of background info on how you're keeping it.
-What type of inclosure are you using, size, substrate?
-Temp inside? Hot spots? Cold spots?
-Hides being used?
-How old exactly?
Any other info not listed above you care to share?

Condition

They are both in a 13 qt rack. 90 F on hot spot. I have no hides, but use aspen bedding.

You might have better luck with a smaller inclosure. A deli cup with a paper towel instead of aspen, fold it a couple times place the pink inside a fold and have the temp around 80 +or- a few degrees.

I use a small deli meat container with a micro cloth, but you can use a paper towel also. It also doubles as a wet hide. The bigger containers seem to bother some Hog's, I've have one Hog that likes to eat this way, the others it really doesn't seem to matter.

Mine seem to really like being inside a fold or underneath it completely.

I have a doorway cut into mine....you shouldn't do that if you are going to keep it in there. I use this as a wet hide and it's inside a shoe box container....
