If you want them to breed then yes, you need to keep them in the same cage. 
Don't worry yourself though because there will be little pups nursing on their mother in no time.

one thing to note is that ASF take longer to grow than Rats.
they also give LARGE litters when they are full grown...some are 22 +

5:1 ratio is the usual ratio. Five females one male. 3:1 is fine..you will have more in no time.
