Sounds completely normal to me.
Hognoses don't shed very often and tend to slow down feeding in the winter. As long as it's not losing weight, just be patient.
I keep mine in a 10 gallon with a little log and some aspen and a waterdish. Nothing fancy.

"The serpent crams itself with animal life that is often warm and vibrant, to prolong an existence in which we detect no joy and no emotion. It reveals the depth to which evolution can sink when it takes the downward path and strips animals to the irreducible minimum able to perpetuate a predatory life in its naked horror."
