Red ASF's

In our weaned tank most of the smaller weans rats have a redish look to them... Is this just them rubbing on each other? Peeing on each other? Is this something I should be worrying about? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

They will grow into their fur.

Awesome I was kind of starting to get worried a bit. This is our first big group of weaners.

appears to be a bunch of albinos.

They're looking a little patchy. What kind of protein percentage are you giving your ASFs? I got something like that when I was giving over 20% protein. Switched them back to the 16% the regular rats are on and it stopped.

Hmm i'm not sure i'll have to check next time we get lab block. I have been giving them lab block and mixed seeds and just let them choose.

Eee, they will fill out with fur more than likely, but they shouldnt look THAT bald.

Could it be that they all stack on top of each other continually? There are about 50 or so in a 40 breeder tank, but they all seem to want to stick in the same hide.

something is wrong with your food, substrate, or ventilation.

They generally always stick in a big pile, but I have not seen that whispy of hair being directly caused by them rubbing or anything of that nature. It's quite eery to see a balding ASF.
