My hognose has recently started refusing food, and I was just wondering what the typical duaration for this is.

Duration is variable, but I would expect AT LEAST 2-3 months. One person here has reported an anorexic hog from Feb. It is important however, to keep track of its weight so you can tell the difference between bavioral anorexia and one with a pathogenic cause.
