    I know that lithium grease is used in food production so it must be safe. I think all white lithium grease is food safe just read the package I am sure it will say something, you can get it from any hardware or most automotive stores (i.e. O'rileys)

    Definitely like this thread. Not breeding ASFs, but plan to soon depending on what happens with my store ordering them.

    With bedding, if you can't get to a feed store, PetCo sells a HUUUUUGE bag of pine, spruce, and fir shavings for like 6 bucks with a Petco Pals card. I used it for two 1.2 mouse bins a bit bigger than a 10 gal tank, cleaned once a week for about 6 months and still had over half of it left. There's also some cheap aspen shavings for a bit more.

    Walmart started selling a 14% hog feed, but I haven't checked it out enough to know if it's a good buy. You can get a big bag of dog food (like 40lb) for 15 bucks that would work for rats if you got a low protein formula for seniors. Ol' Roy has the biggest bang for your buck at Walmart from what I've checked.

    In a word, NO. This is wrong. The stuff I use is 16% protein, and trust me, I get as good if not better results then your over priced 23% "real" rodent food.

    How do I know? I have tested and documented the results myself.

    well keep in mind it wasn't made for breeding ASF's. One thing is certain.... ASF's are a totally different world in many ways then normal rats and mice.

    Can I see those? *curious*

    Also, is 14% okay? If the feed store I know very little about doesn't carry anything that works, that's what Walmart carries. 14% protein and 3% fat, I think. I could give you more nutritional info if you need that to make an opinion.
