Question
Can males and females be kept together in a cage.Ho do you take proper care of there eggs

Answer
Hello Joshua,

No, males & females cannot or should not be kept together due to overbreeding & breeding too early.
A male should not breed until he is around 1 1/2 years & the females should not breed until they are around 2 years.
Also, prior to breeding, they need to be tested for Adeno virus as well.  
The eggs, they should be placed in an incubator with the temperature around 84 & humidity around 80% or so.
