    Re: ASF tank lab block hopper instructions with detailed pics!!!

    I made a few of these and they work like a charm!.

    Make sure you make a top to the hopper, or you'll find your ASF's all piled up inside the hopper...trust me, I speak from experience...lol

    do you think 1/4" hardware cloth would work? It's all I have on hand and need to make another tub.

    Great idea, but instead of using the metal zip ties that are expensive, try the J clips for rabbit cages. They are cheap and should do the same thing. I am going to try them.

    I used plastic zip ties when i had rats and had no trouble but with the ASF's they took it as a challenge to remove as many zip ties as they could each week. I switched to J clips and have had no issues with them.

    I make the same but I found a cheaper way . Instead of using the steel zip ties buy a small roll of 12 gauge or 16 gauge wire and just twist it off inside the hopper ! Rolls are cheap and can do literally like a hundred hoppers!
