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.

Western Hognose: How many weeks on each size mouse will she feed?
Hello!
I am trying to buy bulk feeder mice, but I am afraid to buy a whole bag of peach fuzzies when my hognose, Sunshine, will only need 40. I am wondering if there is an approximate standard for the rate of growth of western hognose snakes so that I can buy in bulk without over buying. Thanks for your help!!

By peach fuzzies, I assume you mean frozen fuzzy mice. I am assuming such because I have never heard a frozen mice referred to as "peach fuzzies". If you mean you are concerned about buying a bag of 100 of them, all I can say was that if it was me, I would buy the whole bag and feed them all to the hognose. I would simply increase the number of them fed to it as its size increases. You seem to think that if it reaches a certain size, in a certain amount of time, that it will refuse to eat them. I have never experienced that with a hognose but I admit I have had limited experience with them having only kept about 40-50 of them and only having bred them about 4 or 5 times. None of mine ever refused smaller meals of more mice as they grew to a size where they could take more than one.
