Just wanted to know if anyone has had or if there is success in breeding zebs in cabinets.What size should the cabinets be? Any other ideas i should know ? thanks

Harvey11 is breeding Zebs in cabinets .

Maybe do a search of his posts to find out more .

Might be under his Dads username of Brett ....theres photos too.

I have a few pairs in cabinets, there is ups and downs to it though as I prefer the aviary because of the better breeding results but also don't like it because zebras will breed with anything they come across, eg: sister, brother, father, mother, cousin etc.
The good thing about cabinets for them is that you can individually choose the zebras you want to breed without them doing it for you. What I don't like about cabinets is that the birds don't get much space to fly in as they would in an aviary which can lead to obesity and poor health. So make sure when you think they have finished breeding or when you want them to stop that they have a back up aviary to put them in to get the excerice and rest they need.
The size of one of my cabinets is 60cm long 32cm wide and I'm not sure about the height though.
Hope this helps.

Hello.
I have just started out breeding finches,i have Zebras sitting on 4 eggs and should hatch in about 6 days.
Zebras are great as they are easy to look after and breed,but they still need clean water and seed and some greens to keep them looking good.
I just put some hay and tissue paper in the cabinet and they built a nest.

Hi Harvey, Your cabinets look good do u have a a nest box in there? What size are your cabinets Thanks

They are 1.2 long x 45w x 50h.I have a nesting box in them.
Hope some of theses pics help you.
