If I buy a cage 66x66x130 cm will it be big enough for 2 pairs of zebs to breed in,im having no luck with them in the 40x40cm cage they are in...im thinking a bigger cage may help

would be better in one cage each, too much competitin in a cage of that size.

I would try for something a little bigger than that and have 3 pairs, Birds are like people they either click with each other or the opposite occurs Get the biggest cage you can afford and put in more nesting recepticles than pairs. ie if you have 3pairs provide 4 -5 nesting sites. Havng 2 pairs can cause fights ,deaths and if 1 pair does click interuptions during breeding

hi,ok glad I asked theres another twice as big for only $40 more,I will go for that.Im not expecting fights as they are all getting along fine in the smaller cage ,well to well the whole group sleep in one nest box ..but im going to try and seperatew the zebs as they are most likely to breed I think

One pair in a cage that size will be a good start.

Add your cock bird first to get use to the environment, add the hen about one week later
