Zebra babies with undigested seed in droppings

Post by Finchluv » Fri Dec 28, 2018 7:36 pm

I have a nest of 5 babies and the droppings stuck on the side of the nest have undigested seed, I'm not sure what's going on, considering they look to be in good health otherwise and growing normally.

Are you sure it is from the babies and not the parents? Could it be seed that was thrown over the droppings? As long as they seem ok, I wouldn't worry about it. When they are a little older and out of the nest, you might be able to tell for sure what is going on.
