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

In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.
Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."
Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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....
