So, I have been breeding ASF's for about 3 years in 10 gal and 20 long tanks with fairly good success but I do have a few issues that hopefully someone can help with. 1) The little bastards keep eating my water bottles 2) Why do I continue to experience such extremes in breeding periods? Basically they ALL breed like rabbits for a month or so then STOP entirely for a few months and then they ALL start again. It appears that they are all on the same cycle but I can't really figure out their timing. It does not appear to be seasonal or temp related. Is this normal ? 3) Can they be safely breed breed in a rack system using litter pans? This would eliminate my issue with them eating all of my bottles but I am afraid that they will simply chew through the litter pans. My hope is that they currently focus on the bottles since there is a edge to chew on and that they may not destroy the bins as there is no edge protruding to chew on. So...any thoughts?
