Hognose Feeding, What should I do if my hognose doesn't eat

[@HeartsScales]

Nice racks~! (This is the only context I will say this, haha) I appreciate the calmness of this video, and the reassuring dialogue. I went through something similar with one of my baby hogs. At 16 grams, she suddenly began fasting and then didn't eat for three months. She never lost any weight, however, which we kept a good eye on. And we tried several of the most popular methods to entice her to eat again; scenting with sardine, tuna, vienna sausage, braining, deli cup, smaller tub, drop feeding, even put her through a mini brumation after getting advice from Kevin. Eventually, we tried frog scent and she started eating again just fine. It may even be that she would have started eating without the frog scent. Some hognoses will simply just start eating again. The thought amongst many reptile keepers being that some snakes, including hognose, my be ultrasensitive to minor or seemingly trivial changes in environment. A slight decrease in temperature for a short time, a change in substrate or enclosure location or size, even a drop in barometric pressure may be enough to set a hognose on a fast. But number one is always ensure your husbandry is on point before trying anything else. And just like they said in the video, your hognose can go months without eating and be okay. Just breathe, and you'll get through it
