Update on my babies
Well, I checked on my babies the 3rd. We had 3 babies and 3 unhatched eggs. We had 3 adults, 1 male, 2 females. When we arrived home from being out of town, the 2 females were going crazy, fighting. I thought nothing of it until I checked on the babies. All were dead. I finally put 2 and 2 together and figured that the one female had killed the babies. I separated her from the male and the mother female and cleaned the nest out. The other 3 eggs were unfertile. I am keeping her separated until we have a successful clutch. I am beginning to wonder if the 3 unfertile eggs were hers and the 3 babies were the other females and the "killer" killed the babies because she wanted the nest for her eggs. Does this sound right for zebras???
