I personally think that hognoses don't have the gape abilities typical of other snakes. Perhaps they don't need the expanding capabilities if they are just eating frogs and lizards. I would also say it is certainly more natural for snakes to eat one large meal rather several small meals. Try a small rat, you don't have anything to lose.
