I started supplementing my ASFs diet with higher protein. Not as a regular food because they won't eat it consistently and it can cause sores.
But in the colony that has been supplemented with eggs (just a cut up omelet) and cat food (30% protein) the babies are growing like weeds. My theory is that the nursing habits of the mothers tends to make them deficient faster than mice and rats get. The babies switch over to solid food sooner as well.
Just my experiment.
