Yes they will chew the tape, or at least mine will chew any thing like that and it's likely not particularily good for them.
They are bouncy, fly out of your hands, whoohoooo I have no clue gravity works nutty rats.However they apparently taste good to the snakes that eat them! LOL Mike does most of the hands on work with the ASF's. He usually put a glove on for the adults if they have young with them (or with Psycho Rat) but he doesn't bother with gloves for the weanlings/feeder ASF's.
