how long should grasscuttlings be weaned?

6 to 7 weeks is optimum.

Grasscutter feed include: sweet potatoe, ugu, every part of the corn plant, unripe mango and pawpaw, pineapple and its crown, water melon, garden egg, cucumber, cassava etc

How soon after weaning can the grasscutters be dewormed.

As soon as possible

Thank you for this write up.

If cash won't allow one to buy a complete colony of 1 male 4 females, is there an implication in starting with 1 to 2 females?. Thanks again.

Nothing wrong with that as long as they arent related.

Start your grassctter farm today and thank me later. Breeding stock still available. Dont think, do!

70k(transport cage included) or 65k if you come with your own transport cage.
It is good to start with weaners they are easier to handle and they adapt faster.

Smh....

When it comes to farming time is of the essence. The sooner you start the better. Order your breeding stock now.

Among other things that make grsscttr farming attractive is that they dont smell and they are quiet. There could be a grsscttr farm next door to you and you wouldnt know because you wont hear or smell anything.

How long (from birth?) does it take for grasscutters to reach tablesize/maturity ?

18 months

A squeeze cage is used to move mature grsscttrs from place to place on the farm.

Squeeze cage?

yep

Male grsscttrs are territorial. If two or more are put in the same cage they will fight to death. But there are exceptions. Two or more males can live together under one condition.

I know someone who raised juvenile males together, they are now six months and they rarely fight..Maybe that's the condition..

They have to be of same parents and kept together after weaning. Their feed and space need to be sufficient too.

Grass is low in nutrient and caloric content. Though it is their base feed, grsscttrs cannot be reared successfully on only grass. They need a balanced diet. Their supplement should provide this daily nutritional balance

Be sure that the mature male has been in a cage for at least 1 week before putting in females for mating. They are territorial so they need to mark their cage.

Without commitment you cannot start and without consistency you cannot finish.

"Do grasscutters bite?" people keep asking. Well breeding them wouldnt be feasible if they did because their teeth is very strong and sharp. Ones fingers could be chopped off with ease.

Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship......

Prospective grasscutter farmers can avail themselves of our practical training program and consulting service. Online training and manual are also available for those who cannot attend training in person.
