i have 2 hognose babies who i got from exotic jungle. they said when i got them they would be ready to eat again. i tried for a week with no luck... until i tried the scenting with tuna juice thing. i bought some cheap tuna canned in water and just dipped the thawed pinkies head in the juice. i couldnt beleive it, the hognose went for it right away. if your having a hard time feeding try this. i frooze the left over juice so next time i can take a hot water thawed pinky and just rub it with the ice. maybe that will work too. good luck with feeding.

Just want to go on record saying that the tuna juice thing really works! My male hadn't eaten in about four weeks, but with the tuna juice he ate quick.
Either he was really hungry, or the tuna juice thing is for real. If it works for my little hatchling Brooksi, then I will be a firm believer.
By the way, I don't know how many of you have purchased the Star Wars DVD's, but I contend that "Empire" is by far the best movie of the three.
Cheers!
