Zebras are usually VERY easy to breed. However, you may run into the odd few that do not breed, for a variety of reasons.
Important thing is to have UNrelated birds. You do not want to breed brother to sister.
If I remember the FIC, don't breed until they are at least 7 months old. This can be difficult because many stores have no idea how old their birds are.
Keep the males and females separate until you are ready to breed them, cuz they may breed too early (not good for the hens health).
Lots of good into in the FIC, so spend some time going thru it.

Re: Temps for Zebras
They're incredibly easy to breed and will breed in the smallest of cages and build nests out of any old rubbish!!
Get a pair of zebs, a bamboo nest and some nesting material and they will have eggs within weeks.
My outside zebs don't even care what time of year, its been down to -10 outside and I have a pair feeding three fledglings. Zebs are unbelievable breeders.
