Pinkie mice 1-2 times a week, roughly the same width around as the snake. Some are picky, and you may have to try scenting the pinkies with frog/toad. It is best to feed them frozen/thawed pinkies as they are cheaper than live and hognose snakes are poor predators of live mice once they grow up.
You need small food items - such as baby (pink) mice. I recommend 'dusting' the pinky before feeding, with a proprietary vitamin powder. This will ensure the little snake gets sufficient calcium and mineral supplements. Giving extra vitamins and minerals will aid the growth of healthy bones.
The eastern hognose snakes primarily eat frogs and toads but they will also eat small mammals and birds.
The main item sought after by hognose snakes is toads. They seem to have an immunity to the toxic skin secretions of toads so can eat them without problems.
