Yay Neo! Did you have to find a paper bag to breathe into? Or did Rob offer to catch you when you fainted?

My husband thought I'd gone stark raving bonkers when I found my first batch of eggs. I DEFINITELY understand the feeling!

Great news Neo.
I thought it was unlikely that all your zebs would be males, for months I thought the same of my lot and they eventually proved me wrong. I guess you can ease up on your relentless search for females now.
Well done mate and keep us posted.
