i used live asf and rats pups when i need rodents , they do produce fast if allowed to do so and they do take a while to get up to size. They do better on the same food as my rats and they don't stink as bad I am changing my rat tank about every 5 days and the asf are about once a week to every 9 days.

The asf love t ochew I too to making a mini table from a piece of plywood and 4 small 1x4 leggs and they chew it up ( seen it on here ) This has cut down on the number of bottles they chew up ( also helped I went to glass lol) and the table doubles as a place for them to hide when scared.
