Thanks for all your help guys. I guess Ill try to get somewhat tame adults and mess with the babies a ton. It's funny but with rats that come from not so nice parents I roll them in my hands. It works wonders. ASFs are not as easy going though. Doubt that will work. Should I just remove the Mothers when I try to handle babies?Originally Posted by Rhasputin
If you look at this care sheet I wrote up here: http://www.softfurs.com/care-sheet/
You will find some information about how to safely handle ASFs while preventing them from jumping.
Your best bet is to raise them from babies, and mess with them every day possible. I just stick my hands in the piles of little ones, and shuffle them around so they're used to handling. You don't have to individually handle each one, but just touching them all like that gets them used to your hands.
