Reply To: Hognose not eating

Hi, saw the vet. She said Dexter’s in very good condition but it’s not good he’s losing weight of course. She didn’t see any problems based on the physical exam. Force fed him a little to see if that stimulates his appetite. I’ve gone back to the red basking light 24 hrs a day and will try to get him to eat small pinkies again. If he doesn’t in the next two weeks she’ll do xrays although she did not feel anything like a lump and xrays on such a small snake are often inconclusive.
