Its all go in our zeb tank at the moment...

One of our younger males has come of age over the last few weeks and has another zeb trapped in a cave - while the alpha is sat on 5 or 6 new little ones in a different cave.

Well tonight I spotted 2 tails in the alphas cave. I paniced and wasn't sure what to do... I have had a look and the little fry are still in the back of the cave,

What would you do?

Leave them to it

thats what I though in the end - I didnt get chance to check the fry this morning...

Is it a possibility that the will get eaten by the new inhabitant?

No, Zebras don't eat eachother

cool - I've had problems with BN's in the past when a male has evicted another males fry...

But this is the same male - just with a friend again too

on second though.. I probably should adjust my statements to include "normally". They don't normally eat eachother.

I came to remember that somebody mentioned a couple of years back that they had a male that would always eat the fry, so the only way to get any survivors from this particular male was to get the fry the day they hatched.

But, this is not normal It does happen though...
