Males can sexually mature as early as 3-4 months old, BUT most females would not accept such a small male. Try for a minumium weight of 45-50 g., also needs to be healthy and eating well,(some almost stop eating during breeding and it can stunt their growth) and he will have a better chance 'with the ladies'. LOL

I feel that males are sexually mature as in being able to be bred at 8-10 months of they are at an optimal weight of at least 50 grams for males.

With females I go for 12+ months and 50 grams but since males tend to be larger, I prefer for the males to be 65 grams before breeding and 8+ months.

Also if your male is of size and weight to breed, keep a check on him once he is with the ladies, males tend to lose weight when breeding and will need to be fed well just as if they are breeding females and sometimes they need to be taken from teh ladies for a few weeks to regain optimal weight and rest.

Id say at 14.9 he is 6-10 weeks old, so you have a while ahead of you!
