I'm curious to know when a bolivian female is ready to breed. I know it's a vague question. I purchases a female bolivian and was told she was ready to breed, she's small in my opinion. From what I know about her, she's about 2-3 years old but she's only about 4 feet and can't take more than a medium rat due to her size. My male bolivian on the other hand, can take the biggest rat I can find no problem and is about 5-6 feet or so long. I don't have much experience in the breeding area yet and am curious as to how long I should wait. Thanks for the input.

I've read that Bolivian females typically take 5 years to be ready. A little longer than your average Columbian.

Bolivian females are best bred at 5. Some 6, and a few can breed as early as 4. The general rule for Bolivians is starting at 3 for a male and 4 for a female, to 5:6 ratio.
