Think about what your hognose would do when all the little spade foot toadlets are out by the thousands. Do you think they would just eat 3-4 or do you think that they would eat 10-20? How about when they come across a nest of small mammals like mice or rats would they just eat one or two or would they eat all of them? If they did eat 10-20 toadlets how long would it take to digest them and when do you think the hognose would feed again? If I were you I would do what you feel is right. My adult hognose come across f/t "nests" once or twice a week and they eat all of them.
