Hey Guys,

First off let me start by saying that I do not have a lot of experience with ASF hoppers, and that I have never bred ASF's so this may be a completely normal behavior, I just wanted to check with some experienced members of this forum.

I picked up some ASF's the other day as I still have a couple of Ball Pythons that wont switch over from Natals to Norways. Anywho, The guy at the feeder store was low on stock with his ASF and only had two adult, and 1 hopper. I took them since I have started piggy backing the ASF with F/T Norway.

When I got them home the Hopper appeared to be dead.. I picked it up and it was laying on its side stiff as a board. I poked it and its arms wiggled a little bit. I put it in a critter keeper over night to see if it would recover as I can't stand the thought of throwing a live animal in the garbage.

I woke up in the morning to find it running around its kritter keeper in circles. It falls over periodically, gets back up, runs back and forth a few times and runs in circles again. He's been doing this for 12 hours or so...

...

Like I said, I have no experience with hopper behavior and don't know if I should cull it and freeze it.. or if I should let it be until next weeks feeding.

Thanks Guys,

Chris.
