August 18, 200519 yr Author On top of the other one? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I could make an appartment block of breeding cages . Condiminiums
August 19, 200519 yr Author Thanks everyone. Here are some shots from my web site. My Webpage The breeding Cage. Bluey the proud dad. Spangle the mum. Dad & Mum The first Egg. I'll try to keep the photos up to date. 2nd egg due tommorow...I hope
August 19, 200519 yr Oh YAY!! An egg! None of mine hatched but i'm sure yours will! I think all mine were duds cause Razzo fell off the perch when they mated. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey Bea why did Razzo fall off the perch..???? Well done Daz on the egg.
August 19, 200519 yr She got her toes bitten off by her lovely daughter bite when i tried colony breeding.

August 19, 200519 yr She's a very well adapted lady. She's still got stumps of toes so she uses them, she was like this earlier this year when she had Blinks and his siblings so i guess my choice of perches weren't up to scratch this time or something. Here's what her toes look like: See here Edited August 19, 200519 yr by Bea

August 20, 200519 yr Cool Daz, any more eggs yet? I think another is due today if my math is right I like the box I actually saw one in a pet shop the other day but didn't buy it, the silly builders had the nest up in the corner of the box (same area as yours but inside) where you couldn't get to it or even look inside

We now have two (2) eggs. Spangles a clever one. She has been sitting on the first since yesterday. so I guess we are now 17days to go. Cross Fingers....I should stop saying that I have had a look at a number of breeding cages and didn't like any of them. Thats why I built mine. Pet city at Mt Gravatt sells the front to breeding cages. You just do the rest. It's easy. Any ideas on the babies colours????? Hen is a goldern faced spangle Cock is a normal sky blue I think?

August 20, 200519 yr :grins: Yeah Aussie petshop nea me just sells the fronts too, I think that's the way I'm going to go too, then you can have it set up the way you want it to be. Baby colours: Blue Normals Yellowface2 Normals Blue spangles Yellowface2 spangles And possible unknown hidden genes.
August 21, 200519 yr Author I like the idea of possibly more spangles. But hope everything goes okay for the first time. If you have trouble building the breeding cage I can help. I love wood working.
August 21, 200519 yr She got her toes bitten off by her lovely daughter bite when i tried colony breeding. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bea, That is so sad, Sometimes you can put to perches in about a centermetre a part and they can balance.. Daz well done on the eggs and good luck..

Right now he is building the inside of his caravan/motorhome.

I had 6 at one stage but sold them as I never did anything except clean on the weekends!
August 26, 200519 yr Author Any more eggs yet? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Up to three eggs. The third one was a bit late? 5 days between 2nd and 3rd. Is this usual? I thought it was about every other day. Hopefully I might get a 4th to day? 1st -> 18th 2nd -> 20th 3rd -> 25th I think hatching will be about the 6th Sept.
August 27, 200519 yr Author it is a bit long, but maybe she took a while to be caught by the guy again <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They may have had a lovers tiff.

September 5, 200519 yr Author Well Time is nearly up. The first egg should be hatching tomorrow? I hope. The spangle has laid three eggs total. The first was laid about 18 - 19 days ago today. The second 18 days tomorrow. But I started counting from the second egg.
