>>Hi all, my hognose eggs hatched 2 weeks ago and so far as yet the babies have not eaten. I am not concerned yet. I plan on getting a toad for scenting this week. I have only tried to get them to eat frozen thawed thus far. What are the chances they will go for live?

Yes, many will eat live pinks. For some hatchlings the movement helps get them interested. In fact some hatchlings will respond to a wiggled or dangled pink better than a still one. Unfortunately though, some others will be terrified of the big giant hand and that method won't work for them. Forceps might help in those cases.
Personally, I wouldn't resort to the toad-scenting just yet.
