Hognoses are not cannibalistic by nature like the kings and milks, but there is nothing to stop them from eating each other like any other snakes.

I house all of mine separate, but I have kept them successfully in pairs without any problems, if you do keep them together its best to separate them at feeding and to keep a male with a female, not 2 males together.

I would try seperating to see if that helps..you never know it maybe getting stressed in with the other one..give it a try,nothing to lose.

why what happened to the hatclings

Hatchlings can be a very greedy babies, so therefore 1 mouse doesn't always fill them up. And with there hungry feeding response they may grab there cage mate.
