ASF will this ever pan out???

[303_enfield]

I should have clarified, I got all of these at three to four weeks old and raised them together. Wish I were closer I would buy some afs from you , I live in the Midwest. I put gloves on before I put my hand in the tank or these will make you bleed. Which I can deal with but not if they won’t raise any pups.

Sell? No, I'd give you a set or two. Google or Yahoo African Soft Furs for sale. You'll find somebody near you with them. Hit some rat forums an you'll find people that ship.

If your wearing a glove to handle them they have to go. Handle the ones with the mice so if they make it they will be calmer. When I started with ASF I went three generations before you could handle them like mice. Yes, it takes time. Gas the male if nasty right before the females drop. Feed off the females at 21 days (meanest first, next day or two the other an repeat). All while handling the pinks.

If you have a TSC near you, look for their dog food called Doggy Food. At under $14 a 40# bag it is the cheapest/best rat/ASF feed I use. It's dye free an for some reason that's important to ASF.

Good luck with the little demons!
