ASF trio

[stangs13]

Wasn't that the 1950's way to say it? Soda-pop?

Sodie pop? or sodie water? LOL Thats what my old JH coach called it...he is pretty old....

Wow.. these Asfs have NO smell! I have them on pine pellets and since last friday (not yesterday) they've been in there with some wheat straw for nesting. NO smell other than a faint wood-pellet odor if you really sniff. Wow. If I could get enough of these bred, I would gladly switch to them from "normal" rats.

ASF are great! They have almost no smell at all! Anyway i recently picked up a trio loved them so much....that i picked up a group of 3.8

I've noticed that they love these tunnels called Grassy Tunnels

Pictured here http://www.bunnybasics.net/images/files_200px_61236.jpg

I put the tunnel in the tank.....and also the box........they love both of them......I'll have to get a picture of it one day!


P.s the tunnel also comes with some sort of bedding or string inside of it.....they love tearing it apart and making a nest out of it

Try'em out!

Man, you people are gonna make me buy a trio.... :p

Ok I can now report on this topic. I have had my 2.3 of ASF's for a few days now. 4 to be exact. I offered mine a box to hide and chex and to help them feel secure. I see them out in the mornings and at night. I haven't noticed any smell or chewing. I have been able to move slow and gentle and pick them up by the tail with no problems what so ever.

i took some pics so you guys know what i'm talking about:

Notice the water bottle, in this first pic.....they seem to work pretty well, and they haven't been able to chew them.












Don't mind this water bottle, it will be changed when these rats get bigger

Ohhhhhh I like that beige one with the face stripe. I don't have one like that! (lovely now I have ASF envy! )

Awesome pics! I am glad that these little buggers are becomeing more popular. I am just plain flabbergasted at how little odor they have. And they are so clean. Kinda like taking the non-stinky-urine aspect of rats, and the small-poop aspect of mice, and combining them into a critter that's the perfect size for BPs to eat.
I still have.. 3 girls. No males! I am going to go get a male tomorrow from a different store, and see how it goes either working him into the females' tank, or maybe isolating him with one female at a time to impregnate them.

Be careful when introducing the male....they might be aggressive...and when separated, might not let the female back into the group.

(on a side note, once they get goin' you'll be overrrun, mine are producing more than I can feed..I have like 50 babies and 5 more preggos now...)
