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.

How old is she? If it's a baby I used to put an old toilet roll tube in the viv and just pop the feed in there. Also I don't normally attempt to feed for around a first week of them coming to me to let them settle in. Don't worry about feeding just yet but none of my hogs strike to the tongs

That's good to know. The only other snake I've fed regularly is my girlfriend's ball python, who always strikes at the food right away when fed from tongs. It makes sense that a hognose would be different.
She's a baby. The people at the pet store didn't know exactly how old she was. But she's about the width of one of my fingers so my guess would be pretty young.
I'll give her more time to settle in before I try to feed her again. And I'll try putting the pinkie in a toilet paper or paper towel tube. I'm assuming that it would be less stressful to feed her in the cage than out of the cage? I'm worried about pieces of aspen sticking to the pinkie and getting swallowed. Does the tube basically take care of that? She won't drag the pinkie out of the tube after she's started eating it?
Thanks for your help by the way!

They are quite inquisitive snakes always burrowing or running the edges of the tank..my viv are full of clutter for them..plant pots..paper towel/toilet roll tubes they love climbing on under through anything so a nice suprise meal found in a toilet tube is always nice. Yeah the baby's normally eat it in the tube solving the problem of swallowing Substrate.
As for feeding in the viv I see no benifit from feeding outside the viv although this is heavily debated by herps across the world on every forum in every language....so I don't really want to bring that up lol
