My son raised the ASF's and said as long as males are reared with each other, or the females, they are accepted, even when reaching maturity. However, if you take the male out and try to re-introduce him to a colony later the others will attack him and try to kill him unless you intervene. Since the ASF's I bought are young I can't even sex them positively yet. I did get 7 that were a little older than the other 12, so looks like I have 2.5 in that container. I bought 5 laboratory rat breeding containers on EBay, so can set up several colonies. I'll be happy if they breed like wildfire, as I'm up to 28 corns now. 5 adults, 15 sub-adults, and 8 young ones.
