Hey all. I've been looking into ASFs since I first stumbled across this site a while back and I have to admit, I first intended to breed feeder mice but the ASFs seemed to be a better choice.

At the moment I am a bit stuck, though... I can't find any! I am located in Southern Oregon and nobody around here has even heard of them. I searched online but anything I find is for local pick up in areas I can't get to. I am willing to drive up to 200 miles one way to get some but Nobody within that range has any live.

I found some places that ship but jimminy crickets, $100.00 for a trio or $20.00 for males $30.00 for females?

I really wanted to get my colony started soon, within the next few weeks so I have a good population when I get my BPs.. but I can't seem to find any that are reasonably priced or local.

Any suggestions? If I can't find any ASFs at reasonable prices I will probably just end up with mice or gerbils.
