Best Answer

1) Are they of a generally peacefully species? (ex., society, zebra) 2) Are they related? (Brothers is usually better than father/son)
3) Do you have about 1 square foot cage space per bird?
4) Can both get to food/ water without two much competition?
5) Are there NO females around?


If all, or nearly all, those are yes, than you probably can. Keep in mind that every bird is a little different, and they may not get along. Supervise them for the first couple of days, and be ready to separate them if things don't work out.

Have 2 pair of mated finches and one spare male Can you place the male in either of the cages or keep him separate until you get him a mate?

Common sense would be to keep the 'spare' male separated to prevent any possible "male dominance" thing from happening.


Is 2 male guinea pigs from same litter better?

They can be however if 2 males are put together at a young age and they get along that is fine. We brought 2 male guinea pigs (different litters) from a local pet shop and they had been together for a few weeks with no problems and are still OK now one year on. In fact they sleep huddled up together.


Is it ok to put a 6 month old guinea pig with a young one they are both male?

No, this is not advised. Especially if the two males are strangers. Males at 6 moths old can already breed. They may find the other younger one a rival for a female.


My 2 very bonded male guinea pigs have started fighting the most dominant one has made all scabs on the other one should i split them up?

It is ok to keep male guinea pigs together, but really only if they are from the same family. I.e. one of them is the father. They are like most they quarrel for dominance. The male guinea pig will always get the female and when the younger get older they will question the dominant male and try to oust him so they also get a chance to mate. But if fighting does become to often try move them to a bigger enclosure to give them some space.


Do zebra finches mate with their brothers and sisters?

i have two litters of zebra finches, total of 6, 2 female and 4 male. i have been finding eggs not knowing where there coming from. i have 2 open nest and just added a burrow (tunnel made of hay) and hung it at the highest peak. two (one male, one female) of them started immediately building their nest inside. i am now waiting to see if they are the culprits of the egg laying. the answer is yes, brother and sisters mate. you have the option of throwing or keeping the eggs, that's your prerogative. do you want more? i have looked into adopted them out with no success. and i would never just let them go, they would never survive outside of Australia.

Can you put 2 male and 2 female parakeets together in one cage?

I have two males that have chosen to live together. They grew up together early. I have given them the 'option' to live apart - but birds of a feather... They've even chosen to live with 2 male zebra finches. The 2 canaries show aggression towards each other occasionally - but it's not a blood sport. I have the cage open all day - they fly in and out - but always 'go home' to sleep and eat. I think it's hard to paint all finches with the same brush. They're generally peaceful little birds.

Are Gecko aggressive?

The only times I know that they are aggressive are: 1. when you put a different type of gecko in the same tank. (I have heard of some that are ok) 2. if you put two male leopard geckos together. (females are normally ok) 3. they are very aggressive to crickets! :)

Is it beter to train 2 male Labrador's together or 1 male and 1 female together?

Usually you wouldn't train to dogs together, they can be easily distracted, but it is best to have a female and male together, as 2 males are very feel very competitive and have the need to be the alpha male. They might get into a fight if they are meeting for the first time and have not previously been socialized with other dogs.
