Don't blame the man when the woman is putting out like mad, they just can't help themselves to some prime ASF puntang. ;)

Re: When do you separate ASFs??
I am totally going to give the wrong info her... but *meh*... :)
Gerbils do the same thing, they mate the night the female gives birth. I figure it is similar, and it does serve a reproductive purpose... uhm, besides just getting mom preggers again (I just cannot remember what it is).
But species that are *designed* for back to back breedings, I do not question it I just go with.
Live hard, die young and leave a good looking corpse (and about 5000 offspring).
ASFs ARE going to take over the world!!!

I think it is similar for most rodents and their close relatives. I know guinea pigs can get pregnant again immediately after giving birth.

Re: When do you separate ASFs??
I separate the babies when they're hopping. I have 1.2 in a 10g tank and they've raised five litters. I've only lost one litter of pinks, and I don't know why. Usu. I leave them all alone so as not to bother them. This time, the pinks were prickly w/hair, and the next day there weren't any babies.
As it's going, my snakes are eating them faster than they're breeding and growing. So I don't often have to worry about when I'm separating them....they're gone before then.
I'm at the point where I need two or three more breeder tanks. *sigh* (But at least I now have my problem eaters, eating again! Yaaaay!:banana: )
