Age doesnt really matter with males, as long as they aren't small enough to get hurt during mating. Like, don't put a 6 inch male that is 40 grams in with a 9 inch 80 gram female.

Age does matter somewhat. I think atleast 9 months old to a year is good.

I disagree that males cannot be too small to breed
Males lose all interest in food when they are focused on breeding and a young developing male can be stunted and never reach his full potential growth by introducing him to a female too soon
I have just started working with Giants and although my male is 77 grams at 6 months of age-I will hold off breeding him until he is about 9 months old
