Posted by: scaledverts at Wed Nov 12 08:48:00 2008 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by scaledverts ] Has anyone ever had an eastern hog that would only eat rodents if they were alive but wet? My wild-caught female eastern hognose (N.E. AR) refused to switch to rodents for ~3.5 months. She was actively eating live leopard frogs. I had tried all scenting methods that I could think of or find information about. After shedding, she was quite hungry as she had not eaten in a few weeks. I placed her in a freshly cleaned plastic feeding tank with a live goldfish (the last of the methods I tried). She stuck her head into the water dish with the fish and investigated but never went for it. All this action splashed water around the feeding tank. I then placed 2 ~4 day old live rat pinkies into the tank just to see if she would take them. I returned to the room to find a much fatter hognose and no rat pinkies. Every time I have tried this since she had taken the rat pinkies when I splash water on them but never if they are dry. Has anyone ever seen this before? I had heard of tuna scenting, etc. but water scenting is new to me! [ Hide Replies ]
