My western hognose has always been friendly, eager to come out and never hissed. About a month ago I went to take him out and he hissed at me! I was shocked and left him there. I tried again and was more persistent to which he headbutted me! Then he has gone into hiding. He no longer sleeps in his hide and moves about, he has burrowed not only under the sawdust but under the new paper at the bottom and is curled up and just stays there. He won't come out for food and if I pull back the paper he hisses,puffs and is very angry. Does anyone have any advice please? Should I leave him or force him out?
 
My hogs do that a lot, usually when I offer food when they aren't hungry. No worries.

If you want to leave him alone until he snaps out of it, that's fine. If you want to yank him out and handle him to see if that changes his behavior, that's fine too.
