Some breeders pair them up at 2.5 years and 1500 grams, but I think it's better to wait an extra year and 500 grams.

So if I found a pair at say 3 years and 2Kg that would be about OK?
I don't mean to sound like I want to breed them as soon as there ready.
Just wanted to know what others recommended :)

It could be. However, without knowing the animals' history, condition, and appearance, hard to say it it will be possible or even worth it.

I was going to consider buying a pair of adults to breed, but I will give it a miss this year.

Ash: "ewwww incest!" ;-)

Daniel: Good call! Probably better to get more species-specific experience first anyway.
