Post: Inseparable mother & daughter

Posted by Mickie on 5/21/10

I have two lovies in one cage, they are mother and
daughter. I put them together when my male lovie died. The
mother was lonely so I put here daughter in there for
company. Now mother and daughter are inseparable and I
fear that being together is too much for them, they seem
stressed out and get into fights but they make inmediately.
I'm worried about then because they act as a couple and
they play mate caising both of them to lay eggs and they
do it nonstop. I worry that this is all too much on the
mother, because she's 11 years old. I have tried
separating them on side by side cages but they find a
corner of the cage where they try to feed each other
through the wires and don't even leave their spot to go to
sleep at night.
Last week I put their cages in different places so they
don't see each and they were so sad I thought they were
going to die. Can someone help me with some advice as to
how to separate these two.
