I gave up most of my rats because they grow to fast,& also my BP's seem to feed better on smaller prey,ASF's are my main feeders right now but man they grow slow!mice suck they eat their babies all the time Ive tried everything to stop this but it still happens only have one female that does'nt do it.ASF's on the other hand are great & are just the right size I need but the slow growth is a pain Im going to have to buy next weeks meals so I can get some more growth out of my group.I only keep mice because one of my BP females is a mouser thats it mice won't even eat a ASF!Im gonna try to get a small group of mice started again soon.
