Would Javas and zebras work in this size cage

Post by otonoh » Sun Oct 31, 2010 7:13 pm

Hi, I was wondering if Zebras and Javas would get along peacefully in this size cage Dimensions: 35'' height, by 32'' length, by 21.
The javas are babies/juveniles, zebras too. I was thinking 2 of each, I am not sure of the sex of the javas but was thinking 2 male zebras.
I looked on the compatability chart and it says yes, but mayinterfere with breeding. what do you think?
2 java finches, 2 canaries and one very social parrotlet. 2 chow chows, 2 cocker spaniels, 1 hybrid and 30 fish

Since they are so young, they might bond together.

I feel the cage is too small for either species. Javas are known to get their way in a cage and so are Zebras so although the two would stand their ground - I just feel like eventually you would have a lot of bickering over space.

Thank you, I didn't realize the cage was too small for either species. In the past I had a pair of javas and Zebras in there and they seemed fine.

I'm sorry I didn't mean it to sound as if it was too small for either species but for both together in the same cage.

IMO the cage size is fine, especially if you had used it before successfully for 2 pair of birds.
