We have a male Society that is about 12-15 months old and is in a cage by himself. We have some Society juveniles that are 3.5 months old (3 females and 1 male).
Is it OK to put one of the females with the older male or should we wait until the female is older? We are eventually going to use this pair as a foster pair for our Cordon Bleus and will toss the Society eggs once the hen starts laying.

Your girls are too young to breed, and breed they will.
I would place your other male with this one for companionship, untill your girls are old enough to start a family (at around 9 to 10 months).

Thanks. That's what I thought. I put the male in with the other male and they seem to be getting along so far.lovezebs wrote: a_gouldian

Re: Society pairing question
Pair them up as same sex pairs or trios. They will foster this way just as if they were paired up Male and female.
