    Best type of enclosure for ASF?

    Just a generalized question for the hobbyists here who breed ASF For BP. What's your most economical/practical enclosure that you use for these guys? Thanks in advance!

    Same racks I use for my regular rats except using 1/4" mesh instead of 1/2".
    Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

    Never argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.
    Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

    Re: Best type of enclosure for ASF?

    I make a tub like the sticky, but with a smaller cut out on top. I go about 3-4" in all the way around, less opportunity for them to try a chew out.

    105qt storage tubs right now, but with 5 colonies, this is not practical for me. I recently ordered a rodent rack which should be completed next week. You can use fish tanks as well or even actual rodent wire cages. You would have to be careful with the rodent wire cages as it is super easy for little babies to squeeze through.
