Hi everyone,

I just started my first ever ASF colony about 3 weeks ago (1.3). I was fortunate that two of the females were already pregnant. The first litter was born on 5-14 and last night the second litter was born. The third female is smaller but she looks pregnant too. So far I've been able to count 14 babies but I think there may have been one or two buried under the pile .

So far so good! There haven't been any losses (I was used to disappearing babies from when I was breeding mice) . They are so cute and fuzzy! A few of them are all brown with a cute white blaze on their heads.

I was also wondering if anyone supplements their diet when there are nursing mothers.

One of the moms with everyone:

This was the first litter of 6 or 7 on the 15th (I think):
