Anyone that keeps Easterns- how often must an Eastern hognose be fed an amphibian if it feeds primarily on mice? I'm planning on expanding my collection with a pair of C.B.B babies that take scented mice and was wondering how often I will have to feed them a frog or toad. Also, for supplementing could I just use a bullfrog tadpole?

I have never seen any literature supporting the need for amphibian supplementation. If you have an eastern that is hitting mice, keep it that way. Keep mice in your hog's belly, and keep the frogs in the wild! Do a search on the forum because similar questions have been asked and discussed.

Thanks. I remember reading a while back on this forum about feeding Easterns amphibians but I can never get the kingsnake search engine to find anything I’m looking for. Anyway, thanks again.

I just scrolled down a ways and saw there was a post on this topic a couple weeks ago. Sorry. Thanks again for the reply.

I recommend quite frequently to forum posters to search the forums, but I do agree, the new search function is ridiculous.
