I have 4 hatchling eastern hogs from a friend who had a clutch of 9. They are eating great and growing nicely. I do have to run around in the woods with a flashlight at night at least once a week to find their food. I have had many adults but this is the first time I've attempted to raise babies. I live in central Florida and our winters are interspaced with warm spells that last up to a week. From my past experience, no toads are found during the winter, even during warm weather. Again from past experience, previous hognose snakes would be active and hungry during the warm spells, but I had no food to offer. My hatchlings are very small and I don't think they will do do well with no food until march or april. I also don't find enough 1/2 inch toads to biuld a reserve for the winter



What do I do?
