I have noticed an abundance of feeding problem questions regarding Hognose snakes and am wondering how many people have actually had a Hognose snake refuse food until it died? I am asking about Western Hognose snakes in particular as I am currently dealing with a feeding problem with one. He is a neonate and has not eaten for three weeks now (refuses live, split-brained f/t, scented, etc). He has consumed a total of 4 live pinks in his 46-day life. I assumed his beahviour would remedy itself on it's own accord but I am starting to get concerned. His sibling is currently feeding on f/t with no problem.
So, has anyone had a western hognose refuse food and actually die from starvation?
Thanks all,
R
