Do you mean outdoors or indoors ? I have 2 zebra and 2 bengalese in an indoor cage.Why are you thinking of it ?

Kept in good conditions they live longer than in the wild.

ok.. copy on the fruit, Thanks :-) This is day 3. All seems well. They are building a nest out of some hay I have placed in their cage, although I don't want any young just yet..rather learn more about the folks first.

Great idea. I'm 3.5 hours away from the nearest pet shop..so I'll wait till I see an egg and try to duplicate it. I have plenty of plaster :-) Great tip. Thanks :-) I do want to add to the population...but not just yet. Need more time to learn how to raise adults..let alone young .
