He finally eats it, but oops

To get Firefly to stop trying to eat his bowl, Daughter finally picked up the sausage in the tongs. See, Firefly? Here’s the end of the sausage, easy to swallow this way… oh, you wanna eat it sideways instead? Really, now…

Hi,what is he eating? I'm expecting my first hognosed snake, so I still have a lot of stupid questions:)

FeriQueen [OP]

Not a stupid question at all. These are Reptilinks. The ones here are frog; I’m told that by themselves they don’t provide complete nutrition, and that I should vary them with the quail-and-frog blend ones, or with other foods. We also feed him fuzzy mice, silversides (feeder fish available at many pet stores), salmon, and occasionally boiled egg. Many keepers use chicken hearts as well.

wow! in our country snake owners feed their pets only frozen mice. glad that I joined the group, because I learn a lot of completely new information. and I really want to raise a healthy snake, so the variety of food is very relevant information. thank you very much!!! this little cutie will be able to move to a new home in the fall, so I want to find out more information before then. I already have a ball python and a corn snake, but these babies are new to me and seem more sensitive. but you inspired me to also visit groups about other my snakes, maybe I'll find out information there that we don't practice. thank you very much🙏
