Help? (With societys and spices and...)

Post by Finches4life » Sat Jun 23, 2007 1:04 am

So I'm soon getting a mate for my female Society. Now I want them to breed but I also have a Spice. Now I want the Societys to breed but I don't really want a Spice/ Society Cross. I don't have the room or money to seperate the spice eitherr. Any Ideas?

Doesn't sound like you should try to breed them in your situation. You could find a new home for the spice, or something, but trying to breed the societies with a lonely third-wheel spice hanging around doesn't sound like a good idea.

Its not really up to me. My parents bought it. One Is mine and the other my parents bought for me.

I could do an irresponsable thing and hope for the best. XD

How are you planning to accommodate your society finch babies? How big is your current enclosure? Do you have any other cages (if so, how big are they)? How many clutches do you want to have? What will you do with the babies? What will you do if the babies are hybrids?

I had a similar situation, but sort of different. I had a male gould that I had to put in with a pair of breeding societies b/c of space and stuff. I kept a close eye on them, and the male gould always kept to himself. Plus I don't think a society and gould will mate together like a spice and society would.
