How many months before maturity?

How many months before maturity?

If you buy them at 4 months old,at the 7th month they'll become sexually mature.

You can start selling the young grasscutters to breeders from 3-4 months as colonies.A colony sells btw 70-100k depending on the location and individual.

For me I mostly sell to farmers who need breeding stocks,but whichever way you decide to sell either to end users or farmers it is profitable.95% of what I feed them with I get it for free,you can sell to end users from 10-18months and it goes btw 10-15k depending on location.

Okay.

Do they bite

They do not bite when handled.
Although grasscutters gnaw at anything nevertheless they do not bite,if they do then it would have been impossible breeding them.

Please who will buy a grasscutter 15k? Am just asking. Even the 10k, will someone buy at such amount to eat?

have you meet a hunter that killed a grasscutter and want to sell it by the road side before?

Try to buy it from the hunter and know the price the will mention for you.
Some will sell it for 7k depending on the size.

Visit any bush meat market you know within your state to get an idea of how much grasscutters is sold for.

The demand for it even outweighs the supply,Price of this grasscutters also depends on the size.

At what age can the female take in

From 4 months old you can deworm them using unripe pawpaw seeds or use piperazine.

The unripe pawpaw seeds can be grinded and mixed with their food.

I do that every morning.

Op my question is this; if you put them together as a colony from 4 months old, will they not start mating immediately? Then how do one prevent this early mating? Or should the male be separated from the females till all of them are seven months old?
