Hello
I have a little boy quaker, still just 4 months old. I am debating adopting another quaker, a female from the same clutch. This is not for the purpose of breeding but i am posting this here because it still seems a suitable category. The young female would be a companion but i want to find out about any potential ramifications before i commit. They are some time away from maturity but the time will come. How do siblings generally get on? How do i discourage breeding? Not providing anything that could be used as nesting material appears to be one way. Is housing 2 opposite-gender siblings a bad idea for other reasons other than the risk of inbreeding? Many thanks for your time
