    ASF becoming impossible to find.

    My two lovely ball pythons LOVE ASF rats. I can't get them to eat anything else, however, they are a hassle to get a hold of. Both places in my area, hoosier mouse supply, and American Rodent supply, only have little ones. Does anyone know of other suppliers (online is fine) that I might be able to get them from? Or does anyone have helpful tips on how to get them eating rats as it will save me a headache or two in the future? Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

    Re: ASF becoming impossible to find.

    Hoosier Mouse has them, but rarely at the correct frozen size or more than 20 or so at a time, and recently they had an accident at the facility and they all got out and were lost before they could save any. Also, ARS has them but the ones they have are only 20 or so grams, way too small for me.

    I can't tell by looking at the pics, but the website does not specify whether or not the rats are soft furs. They only have rats and mice listed. Clarification would be greatly appreciated.

    It would say if they are asf. They are not. Just regular rats.

    That is what I was afraid of. I guess its back to the drawing board. I'll probably try to start getting them on rats.

    Good luck. Try scenting if nothing else works.
