how often should she be feeding???

hydrax Feb 20, 2007 09:37 AM

i bought my boyfriend a female western hognose at the start of jan,shes 5 months old, after a few normal feeds (the store told us they were feeding her twice a week) she now only seem to want to eat every 9-10 days this has me a bit worried i thought prehaps she was about to shed but there has been no sign of that either (she hasn't done that either sice i got her) i'm thinking of taking her to the vets but rep vets in the uk a few and far between, so was hoping for some advice first.

Don't worry about it. She will never starve to death. That actually is a very acceptable feeding schedule.
