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.

This will ensure the little snake gets sufficient calcium and mineral supplements. Giving extra vitamins and minerals will aid the growth of healthy bones.
