When he first approached agriculture, especially with two “unusual” animals, bamboo rats and black Mong chickens, Hieu had almost no experience. In 2022, he bought 20 bamboo rats to try raising them. Once he gained enough knowledge, he bought 25 couples of bamboo rats to raise again. He now has two bamboo rat farms with a total of about 300 breeding animals. Hieu said bamboo rats are easy to raise, rarely get sick, and eat cheap, readily available food such as bamboo, sugarcane, and corn.
