Just wondering, what age do they start to breed and what can we do to help them along with this? We have four different breeds of loris and hoping to get at least one breed of babies.

They will start breeding at 12 months old. As Smiley said, they will breed in a small Cockatiel box. Make sure you put plenty of wood shavings in the box to absorb all the runnings. Otherwise, it will get very messy in there  Lots of fruit and veg everyday. And wet and dry mix. I used to give mine wet mix 3 times a week and dry mix 4 times a week. Good luck with the breeding. I use to have 3 pairs of Red Collars and never successfully bred any. I had a Hen who would eat her eggs and was possible sterile. I had another pair who must have been sterile and another pair who never showed any interest in each other. Never got one fertile egg but must of seen about 30 eggs. It is a shame i got rid of them, i would have loved to keep them or get a pair without any problems  Oh well, hopefully you will have better luck than i did |

Excellent, thanks guys. I have a female who loves laying eggs, now, if i can just get it through to Studley's thick head that her side is not the right place, go 90 degrees...

Seems studley is living upto his reputation and can't make up his mind which bird to go to. hehehehehehe. Sorry guys, this is my wierd sense of humor coming out. How can I make the cage more comfy for them to breed in? besides their bedding?
