Thank you Flagg, I did send you a PM before I posted on here about the unexplained deaths, but you seem to have answered all I asked anyway
My ASFR's have a variety of food, the main staple being about 18% protein, with a mixture of seeds, millet etc as well. I have also been giving them kitten biscuits, scrambled egg, cooked chicken, meal worms and the odd wax worm too and they seem to relish all of these. (not all at the same time, obviously).
The water bottle is working perfectly and I check it physically twice a day, I also watch that the bubbles are rising when I see them drinking. They are in our main living area, so I can watch them quite a bit.
All three mothers seem to be doing their fair share of baby rearing, although the first female did slack off a bit about a week ago, for a few days and she is due to deliver her 2nd litter any day now, but she has been doing more this week.
The remaining 4 babies from the first litter, who will be 4 weeks old this Wednesday, are out and about in the evening/overnight and eating and drinking well, so I will be moving them out to a seperate tank tomorrow.
Thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it
