The Nel Brothers Stud
Our Breeding room

Our breeding room measures 3.2 meters by 2.8 meters. There are 28 breeding
cages made up of 7 stacked breeders of 4. There is also a worktop and cuboard.
Power has been layed on and the lights come on at 6 in the morning and go
out at 8 at night after which night lights stay on.

From 1996 to 2008 we used Canary double breeders as our breeding cages.
In 2008 we changed the breeding cages to those displayed below.
