Don't blame the man when the woman is putting out like mad, they just can't help themselves to some prime ASF puntang.

Re: When do you separate ASFs??
I am totally going to give the wrong info her... but *meh*... 
Gerbils do the same thing, they mate the night the female gives birth. I figure it is similar, and it does serve a reproductive purpose... uhm, besides just getting mom preggers again (I just cannot remember what it is).
But species that are *designed* for back to back breedings, I do not question it I just go with.
Live hard, die young and leave a good looking corpse (and about 5000 offspring).
ASFs ARE going to take over the world!!!

I think it is similar for most rodents and their close relatives. I know guinea pigs can get pregnant again immediately after giving birth.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Re: When do you separate ASFs??
I separate the babies when they're hopping. I have 1.2 in a 10g tank and they've raised five litters. I've only lost one litter of pinks, and I don't know why. Usu. I leave them all alone so as not to bother them. This time, the pinks were prickly w/hair, and the next day there weren't any babies.
As it's going, my snakes are eating them faster than they're breeding and growing. So I don't often have to worry about when I'm separating them....they're gone before then.
I'm at the point where I need two or three more breeder tanks. *sigh* (But at least I now have my problem eaters, eating again! Yaaaay! )
