Many people have told me that ASFs can handle high heat no problem. I have a few groups going that are still young so no babies yet. I do have to admit that these guys seem not bothered at all by really high heat. I live in SW Georgia and temperatures average 95 during the day right now with extreme humidity.
All I have to help them is an industrial fan, which I doubt they even need. If I put my other feeders out in this weather a lot of them would die of a heat stroke in a few days and production would drop off sharply.
I really hope these guys work out for me. AC is not cheap but a necessity if you want to breed rats or mice down here.
Anyone else have experience with keeping these guys in similar environments?
