    Yummy Golf Balls!

    The first colony I started is doing great. This will be the second litter for the two bigger girls. I started with only two females who were meant to be feeders but I noticed they were pregnant so I kept them and started my first colony. After their babies were weaned I made them bigger tubs and added 2 more females and a male (with no problems since it was a completely new home). So far 3 of 4 girls look like they have eaten golf balls

    Enjoy!

    Female 1


    Females 1 & 2


    Female 3



    They are all very friendly I might add... I can pick each one up by the body and they just kind of relax in my hand and they always seem to want to come out and "visit". I guess I lucked out cause I've spoken to some friends about them and theirs are crazy (biting, jumping)!

    I have some that are jumpy, some that are just scared of everything, and I have one that anytime you even look at her she jumps at the top of the tank trying to kill you.

    They are like most other animals and seems to have personailities of their very own.

    But I would say be careful handling once they do have fresh babies in the tub.

    No doubt they would be protective I check on them daily but unless there is a problem I leave them alone till the babies are exploring a little.

    But then they would grow as big as regular rats too....

    I'm looking to get rid of all of my Rats and just go with mice and ASFs.

    I use to breed ASFs only, I only have a trio now for certain snakes. Once they become readily available to everyone and people aren't so scared to buy snakes eating ASFs I may reconsider.

    Re: Yummy Golf Balls!

    I was wondering how they look when pregnant. I just started my colony. So far they seem happy, but I havent seen them "busy" yet. Maybe they like it dark when I go to sleep
