What we have seen based on our recent research work, is that the demand for grasscutter meat in Nigeria is very high but the supply of same meat product is low in comparison. This is why the few who are into the business are making huge profits from it. Someone once asked me in a seminar, if the grasscutter reared at home has the same market value as that caught in the bush? I simply told him that the one caught in the bush does not have same size as that reared at home. The ones reared at home weighs far higher than that in the bush because you are going to rear them in the right condition, climate and right feeds. And that is why you can sell one grasscutter for a five thousand naira. Anyways the reason we have a very low supply of this meat to the high demand of it, is because the meat is very rare. Not so many persons are into this business. Not so many people sees the opportunities in this business.

Feeding
As their name goes (grasscutter), the feed majorly on herbs and grasses. So you may not even spend much on their feeds because what they feed on can be gotten free of charge. They love the elephant grass allot and that is one of their major feed. They also feed on Napier grass. They also feed on Gliricidia sepium, and some leguminous plants. Guinea grass, Gambia grass, Congo grass can also serve as feed to grasscutters. To grow a very healthy grasscutter based on experts advise, ensure you give attention to their feeding and hygiene.
Let’s work you through some of the grasscutters feeds you can get for your grasscutter animals.. Roots and pitch of oil palms, coconut palms, bark of plantain, pineapple. Rice, corn, groundnut, sweet potato, grain legumes, cassava tubers etc.
House Construction
These animals’ needs the right environment to grow healthy and the grasscutter house must be constructed the right way else you it may hinder their healthy growth. When constructing their house, ensure you build at least three chambers. These chambers will act as an eating camber, playing and sleeping respectively. These animals love freedom of movement so you have to build and construct their house in a way to give them allowance for movement. They also respond very well to good habitation. Our experts have argued that the preferred dimension in length should be about 180cm, the height should be about 45cm while the width should be about 60cm. For a farm where you have more than one colony, then they all should be in their separate chambers.

The design should make it easy for the grasscutter to move about Its not advisable to put all of them in the same place. Each colony should have its chambers.
The grasscutter house should be constructed in a way that would make it impossible for snakes to enter. Snakes are one of the major threat to this animal so you must make sure that the cage is properly secured. Another common attack you should look out for is soldier ants.
Weaning Time
When the young or new born grasscutter is fed very then the grasscutter should be ready for weaning from between 4 to 8 weeks. Then during the period of 5 to 7 months, the grasscutter can be taken from their mother. And when this is done, they should be grouped into their own colony just as their parents were grouped. We have established that one colony should contain just a male and a female or more than a female. The purpose for this is reproduction. Actually, the real time for mating between the male grasscutter and female grasscutter is within 140 days if after the male and female has been paired during this period and there is no sign of pregnancy then it’s not ordinary at all. The female grasscutter should be paired with another male while the male grasscutter be properly examined.
If there is any meat that is very rare and scarce, then we are talking about Grasscutters. They are not very common at all and this is the very reason why the demand for it is very high. The few making the supply are really making money out of this business. We have said that one grasscutter costs minimum of 4,500 to 5,500 naira.
Take a look at this scene. For a farmer that have have 40 female Grasscutters and they give birth to 6 Grasscutters in the first year (they give birth twice a year), that is 240 Grasscutters from 40 females. Now whenyou sell 240 females for N5,000, you will make a whopping profit of N1,200,000.
