What will happen to my colony if I feed off the male? Will the females continue to nurse? I have another 1.4 that I just put together, and that will give me some time to use up what I have. I have at least 30 hopper-young adults and someone just traded me 15 more. It's getting out of control.

Also has anyone tried an air filter for the smell (the kind they use in hydroponics has been reccomended) but they are kind of pricey?

Thanks & Happy Holidays!
