So my male hognose hasn’t eaten for over a month (last time he ate was in mid September). I know that hognose can be finicky with eating, especially males, so I’m trying not to get worried but advice is welcome on what could be causing it. If he was starting to refuse food now I would think it was a brumation instinct but September seems early for that. I’m not planning to brumate him since I’m not going to breed him and I don’t really have the means to brumate right now. I’ve been trying to feed him every week or so, but he’s never interested. He’s acting normal otherwise, super active as usual. I tried braining the mouse once and that didn’t do anything. Is there anything else I can do? Should I keep trying or just accept that he’s going to go off feed for the winter. If he doesn’t eat for the whole winter, how do I make sure he stays healthy? Advice is appreciated.
