I think some people have also housed ASF with fancy mice which would be a much less invasive option than neutering. There'd be no risk of reproduction(two entirely different species that cannot breed together), and you'd eliminate surgical risks and such.

For me neutering with such delicate species shouldn't be done simply for social reasons. If there was a genuine medical reason(as in something already existing as a problem such as cancer) that required surgery that would be different!
