Breeding Zebra Finches?

I have a pair of Zebra finches and they have successfully raised two females. Now on the second clutch they hid the eggs and did not hatch any. This is the third clutch and now I found the eggs have been eaten and thrown out of the nest. What should I do with the pair?

So far I have separated both parents and the female laid an egg at the bottom of the other cage she is in. She is in with her two female offspring. Will the male stop eating the eggs? I also removed the nest. Where do I go from here? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I would like to breed them some more, but right now I'm not sure what to do.

You will need to put the one male and female back in the original cage together. Watch them and see what happens. Normally they should lay eggs again.

If they are not laying eggs or killing the eggs, try a different female in the cage with the male. You need to keep the other two females out of the cage you are using for breeding.

I would put her with a different male. Make sure you dont have a male and two females or one female and two males in the same cage or they will start fighting
