    Found some ASFs on craigslist, questions...

    So I ended up with some ASF's. Not sure what to think of them yet, lol. Not really into breeding rodents...
    This is a group of 2 males and 3 females, there are 6 pinkies as well. They all get along very well, even the 2 males groom each other. I always thought you could only have one male ???
    They aren't really aggressive, the guy said they were raised by a mouse, not their ASF mother. He picked all of them up and they didn't struggle or try to bite, even when he handled the pinkies. So I'm hoping I won't get bit by them, wouldn't really like that much, LOL.
    They are funny things, spend a lot of time cuddling and grooming each other, very affectionate with each other. Don't act very stressed with moving them or when I give them water/food, etc.
    Does anyone else keep 2 males together ? Should I feed one off ??

    As long as a group is raised together or introduced at an early age, they will get along. The problem usually starts when you try to introduce a new one into an established colony.

    The females will have a time of it with 2 males chasing after them, I'd set up another tank 1.1, then keep 2 females from their first litter for a 1.3
