okay well as the female is plucking her fledgling i deiced instead of splitting them up i would put them in the flight cage with the other pair of zebras well what happened was i put them all in and the 2 females and the babies are fine together but the 2 males have been fighting from 6pm till it stated to get dark the white male was even trying to fight with the babies and other female the flight cage is 3 meters by 1 meter and 7 foot high i thought this would be enough space for them all the 2 that were in there first were laying eggs till yesterday i took all the nests out to stop them breeding anyways what do i do and if u say split them up how can i catch them ps its the male with out babies doing all the fighting the other seems happy enought to do his own thing also is it Dominic just creating a pecking order :? ps sorry if this is in the wrong place i also read that adding more females will help is this true i can easly get 2 more females its just i dont want more fighting :?

I was having problems with one Male Zebra being aggressive and I took all the nests out of the aviary and things seem to have gotten much better. Lots of playing, flying etc. going on now. Thank Goodness.
