I bred ASF's for about 2 years and never did I see any kind of "puss sack" on any of them. I did however see males kill and mutilate each other are very young ages if I didn't take them out quick enough to feed off or to pair up with females. Maybe yours are fighting and the injuries are getting infected? With out pictures, I don't think any one will really be able to tell ya what is going on.

I have ZERO experience with breeding rodents.

Could this be from possible bad genetics?

Too much inbreeding?

I'd say it's some kind of infection.

Interested to know what it is.

my males get growths all over them at around a year, but they start under the chin area. they look like tumors, but they do "pop" open almost like a zit...i had two of mine do it...and now i just feed them off at around 10 months or so before it starts happening. imho i think it has to do with the inbreeding more than anything else.

This sounds pretty nasty. I have 5 breeding quads and i have never seen anything like it.
