male or female

Post by jamezyboo21 » Sun Jun 01, 2008 7:19 pm

Okay so i went to animal jungle the other day and bought 4 all white zebras and 2 others that were to me rare. i thought that i had 3 female whites and 1 all white male. Do the females sometimes sing just a little. i have many zebras and this is the first time i heard what io believe are to be females singing. its not loud like when the males sing. the beacks are bright orange and no markings. myabe they might be young males but i just notice that they all have been singing.

I'm not strong on Zebras, but according to the FIC, with white Zebras, the male's beak will be red, and the female's beak will be orange. Also, only male Zebras sing. You may have some juvie males.

That's what i figured, i never heard females of singing and i just figured they were young males because the orange beaks and there singing is still soft and a little scratchy. Im suppose to be getting a few cfw zebras once the breeders pair have babies.
