Many good points have been brought up here. It is always a good idea to feed a variety of prey items. Being a very balanced diet, mice are great however and variety can be replaced with consistency.

As far as feeding fish, it is not much more of a leap than feeding your hognose mice, however the thiaminase is a problem if you don't research specifically the fish used (go beyond the rambling of a forum) and/or use a good variety of fish.

Food from the wild is definetly a backstep due to parasites. It sounds like you've taken a lot of care to ensure you've bought a high quality captive-bred snake. Introducing parasite bound food would negate much of your efforts.

Simulating a natural diet would be awesome although a lot of work and a little bit of risk. A diet of captive bred frogs (hard to get started but worth it in the long run)would do a great benefit, but it is important to keep in mind that hognose do eat more than just frogs in the wild. Research studies done on the subject of hognose diets in the wild and make sure you include slugs, worms ect if that is the path you'd like to follow.

Good luck and enjoy your snake!
