Thanks for the great replies all Much appreciated..

I've seen ASF here on BP.net a lot but never actually knew what it means... now I know

Right now I've got 3 Ball, but should shortly be getting my hands on a 20month old pair of 100% het albinos. Then after that there'll be 3 hatchlings coming January. So by beginning of 2009 that'll be a total of 8 Balls. (8 (mice per week) x R6.50 x 52 weeks = R2704 per year minimum - more likely it'll be 14 mice per week or so if feeding older balls 2-3 per week, that's over R4500 per year, which would buy me a Pastel)

To keep things simple I'd probably want to get going with rats in order to feed right up the size chain.

First thing I wanna do is get more info on the ASF rats....

Keep the ideas coming y'all
