You and others here, try to make arguments about of posts. You play silly games to trap posters etc. You make some silly attempt to make it about simplistic right or wrong. Or some silly possibility. This is possible and that is too. Oh come on. What good is that? All those "games" have nothing to do with the subject. Husbandry.
Husbandry is based on results, not, right or wrong or some distant possibility. ITs not about being contradictory, Its about results. In this case, the original poster had contradictory results. One hog doing fine, on hog was picky. Those two hogs contradicted each other. The keeper was new to hogs.
With that in mind, and the experience level of the keeper, do you really think the snake was genetically picky, or is it more likely that some tweaking of husbandry is required.

Lastly, Discern, Jon, Dm and others, maybe you, may not have good reading and comprehension skills. Simply put, this forum states RIGHT ABOVE, it's about "HOGNOSE SNAKES" You guys are on the wrong forum, you act like your in, "THE FRIENDS of HOGNOSE SNAKES" forums. You make it about personalities, debate, bla bla bla, you make it about anything but the subject, hognose snakes.

The actual question was, can you improve the feeding response of that picky snake, The answer is, YES. And you can by working on husbandry. Do you want to argue that? and please, 22's and 242's. Dang, how about polar bears. By the way, pretty sure if that newbie keeper gave the animal some time, it would be fine. shipping, shows, and all.
