I would like to poll the rate in which zebra owners do manage to breed.

My zebra's have already spawned once.
The fry are on their own now. By seeing the activity between the male and his favourite (and well fed) female, I think a second spawn is at hand.

Sorry Rob, for making a mess of it. :oops:
This is the poll as it was intended, can I delete the other one?

Cheers

How do I vote? There is no vote button. Am I missing something? Anyway, I have not had a spawn, and I think I have both sexes.

hmmm I fell between "have spawned once" and "keep spawning" - they spawned twice, but I think it's a bit early to say they keep spawning :D

Trisstan, it took my Zebras a year before they suddenly decided to go for it, as Rob says on his web site - it's a waiting game :) Oh, and good luck! It will happen!

They had spawned 6 times & also I lost 1 female full of eggs. :x ( Not sure why ? ).
At the moment I lowered the Temp to 27C and giving them a break for the winter. (Stable condition)...
