Hey all, I have a question for you more experienced ASF breeders. I started my first two colonies last week and built my rack using 1/4" hardware cloth. I would like to feed them Mazuri pellets on top of the hardware cloth like you see most domestic rat racks set up. However, I was concerned that they might not be able to eat through the 1/4" cloth so I built some feed hoppers out of 1/2" cloth. They eat out of those fine, but of course they crawl on them and I don't think it is very sanitary.
My main question is, have any of you had issues with feeding through the 1/4" mesh top screen? I am just afraid if the food is too hard to get to they might decide to try and chew out the tubs. Thanks in advance.
Here is a couple photos of my set up.
