Hey everyone got a problem maybe someone can help me with. Story goes.... I purchased my western hog almost a month ago from a reputable pet store... on the day i bought him he ate in the pet store.... he ate the mouse with no hesitation... I brought him home took him out of the 2 1/2 gallon tank he was in... (the tank came with the snake).... and put him in a 10 gallon... Since then he will not eat... i have tried pinkies goldfish, pinkies scented with goldfish etc. he wants nothing to do with it. When i go to feed him i dig him out (all he does is ball up under the substrate) and he false strikes at any food item in the tank.... how long can a hog go without eating and when should it become a concern.... also any tips would really help... Frogs?
Thanks
Mike D
