whatever you do, don't touch them. the mom will eat their heads off. this has happened to me ALL too many times. and it is absolutely disgusting and disturbing to walk in on mom rat eating the head off of a live baby.

good luck!
With ASF's? So many weird things... I handle the babies pretty often for my animals, and they have not eaten the babies because of it. Mine are also pretty easy going rats.

appologies, didn't know asf's were the thing on this forum till i read a little more. lol. yeah, that was just my experience with my regular, pet store bought, white mice...and other random rodents.
it is pretty gross how they eat the babies though. yuck!
