    African Soft Fur (Rat Family)

    I recently obtained a male african soft fur male and will be getting a female when a friends female drops another litter.

    I was wondering why most major breeder are not breeding them and using them as food?

    Why does every raise the big (normal) rats and hope they can keep the weanlings the size needed to feed off?

    Is it bad to raise bp's (and other snakes) with ASF then turn around and sell them to someone who does not have access to them?

    I mainly want to understand why ASF aren't higher in demand and more breeders using them? I personally would love to raise and breed them for food due to the fact there max size if perfect for a bps entire life... can we get a pro/con thing going or something?
