For some reason the MRS loves to sit on top of MR. They love it like this.
But what about the 4 eggs that are under there? Will they still do this once the eggs hatch? Will they spend more time outside of the nest? Just seems unlikely that anything would survive underneath these cuddlers. Ha.

Too cute! I can't tell how much room is inside - make sure there's enough room for growing chicks if you want to breed (and for zebras, you can get 1-6 chicks!).

That is super cute picture. I think you should be OK as long as they stick with 4 eggs this clutch. Once the young leave you may condsider one step larger in case they lay more next time.
