This is so hard. I want to keep Jet but he's bonded to Rex. Hes bonded to me too but I think hes more bonded to Rex.
Part of me is trying to convince myself it's for Rexs own good if I split them. Theyve been together about a year. Her egg laying is becoming concerning. If she has no mate she won't lay. Of course she could still lay. Four clutches so far. Two at 3 eggs and two at 4 eggs.
I'm thinking a vet visit may be in order if she lays another clutch. Her prospective new owner is willing to take her. The hope is the move will shake her up some. The rehoming fee is very low due to the situation.
She looks very healthy and she gets veggies daily. Broccoli, carrots, kale, romaine lettuce and more.
If split them Rex and the baby would go to the same home.
The other part says it's cruel to seperate them. I admit Jet is my favorite.
For a reminder I'm allergic to the powder down. I have taken steps to control and deal with it but 3 tiels are just too many. I am hoping I can at least keep one but I don't know.
I'm torn and I'm tempted to keep them all. Rationally I know that it is bad for my health to do so.
I guess I know the right thing is probably to keep the couple together and I just need some support.
The thought of not having Jet anymore makes me want to cry.
