I breed mine in an apartment with no problems. I am very picky about keeping them clean so I do it twice weekly and have zero smell.

If you seperate, you can not re-introduce into the colony. I have been breeding them for two years and never had a good turnout when reintroducing a seperated ASF. Happens with both male and female. They are extremely territorial. Some people may say different but this has been my personal experience.

Good luck, they're a lot of fun
