Feeding the Runt + Alys's Babies (A Western Hognose Snake Video)

The Runt is putting on some size, but still not enough for even pinky heads.
Meanwhile, Alys's 5 babies are doing great so far. 2 of them definitely have her "no fear" approach to life.

What a cutie

I agree they get too nervous and stressed out too easy for it😊

hoggies are so stubborn in the food department, my lad did not like tilapia, salmon, tuna juice or boiled egg, he only showed motivation towards quail eggs ONCE (and my finger, again only once idk what that was about pff)
he demands straight to the mouth delivery and that is it, he shows no motivation to eat himself if its not already in his mouth (apart the one time with the egg/my FiNgErr). I have tried just about everything apart from frog/frog scent cause I can't get a hold of frogs here in the UK 😕

So you have to assist feed? Or just put it in his mouth with tongs or whatever?

Have you tried little bits of egg for the runt? He might like it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I tried but he wouldn't go for it. Seems he's strictly a fish dude.
