    It could work I had a Gerbil and an ASF have litters at the same time and I switched a baby from each litter and both mothers raised the strange baby as their own.

    When I was trying to get some hatchling balls started I had a couple hoppers left over from babies that ate rat pups instead.... anyway I threw the hoppers in with my ASF's and had no problems.

    Re: Asf foster mice ???

    I have had two litters of mice from the same female. fostered by two different mothers in two different tanks, (ASF's). And never had a problem.

    Hope this helps.

    Re: Asf foster mice ???

    I posted something here awhile ago about ASF fostering mice. Be sure to rub a little ASF bedding on the mice first.
    Heres the link, with pics http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=60593
    Good Luck!!!!

    Re: Asf foster mice ???

    I have never had to rub bedding on my pinks. They just feed em like their own.
    Maybe my ASF's are a little slow. LOL
