I'm looking to breed ASF. I've already got a rack design and a plan for how many I need. The biggest question I have is cost. All the ASF breeding I can find is mostly from the US where (I only wish) they are paying $.90-$1.10 for small rats, shipped to there door if they buy bulk. If i was paying those prices I wouldnt be breeding feeders.
Being from Canada (more specifically Alberta) I am buying rats at about the cheapest I can find at $2.80 for sm and $3.10 for me. ASF are my biggest option where i live and I'm just wondering from some of the local breeders/Canadian breeder if they find it worth it. I've been breeding mice for 4 months now and have found it very advantageous with feeding my babies/ yearling ball pythons. What do you think about the cost of ASF's in Canada compared to purchasing FT rats?
