ASF pinky survival tip

The most i've seen is 42 babies btw 2 mothers. So i'm assuming 21 each, but could vary 1 or 2.

P.S. Great idea on the milk bones, I started giving em to the mothers that just had babies and they love it. Haven't had any pinkie masacres before though.

Yeah Im starting to think I was lied to about them being fresh females. I haven't had a litter over 11 yet, and my other one just dropped a litter today which looks lacking in size.

pav i know my females were virgins before they bred for me and not one had a litter over 12. after i fed them all off accept for a pair (because of my asf babbies being eaten) she has had another litter of 8. im going down to phoenix on wed to pick up quite a few more asfs and lab cages to try to start my colony over and i ordered a 50lb sack of masuri 6f.

Those that are having trouble producing these 20+ litters, shoot me a PM and I will tell you why. Tired of fighting the good fight in the public forums.

Good Day

*UPDATE*

So I had a litter born over the weekend 12 pinks. I didn't instantly give them a Milkbone as I usually do and came home to find the other female chowing down on one like it was a snack. Gave them the Milkbone treats and no more pinks are missing. Might be a fluke, might actually be something to my whole Milkbone idea. Another litter is due within the next 5 days, will let you guys know.

I get 15+ from most of my newer females now. So 17 isnt uncommon for me. I have 2 older ones that i get 10-12 now.

I fail to see the relevance.
