While is may seem cruel to risk bodily harm for a greater good, I for one am all for it.
Yeah. That's why I have done it in the past. Sometimes bites can happen. They also sometimes get infected which I really worry about. Like I said, I try to avoid it whenever possible, but it isn't always possible!

I have now stuffed his tub with loosely crumple newspaper. I'll see if he moves around any later and if so I'll maybe try sticking the ASF in there with him for a little while again.

I just wish this guy would eat!
