asf safe to be around sick rats?

Will the sicknesses spread? Just curious, I have some sick rats i need to cull off but will asf be safe?

I would keep them apart

will do, due to their low smell i can probably keep them somewhere far far away!

It depends on what's wrong with the rats, but on the safe side, I'd keep them apart.

I think they all have R.I. due to the fact i probably introduced a sick colony... it sucks, would the asf catch R.I. from the rats?

It depends on what caused the URIs. If it's bacterial, probably not, if it's viral, probably.

So to be on the safe side, I'd separate them. :)
