    ASF's??

    This might seem a stupid question but i just got to let it out...well what's the difference between a rat or mouse than a ASF and what does ASF stands for?

    African Soft Fur Rats

    They're a native rat to Africa used sometimes with stubborn feeders to trigger feeding responses.

    Some people like them as primary food as well I believe as they are supposed to be a little less harsh on the smell output.

    Re: ASF's??

    ASF stands for (African Soft Furred), they are native to Africa so some say that if you have a Ball that is nit eating they will be more likely to eat an ASF. Also a lot of people like to breed them because they don't get as big as a rat but are bigger then mice. if you go to the feeders section of this forum there is more extensive info on them.
