so that means that I need to tell my little chicky that he no longer can sleep with emiliano the quail? they've been roomates for over a month now, chicky use to think quail was his mother, as chicky grew quial tried to mate with chicky, now chicky is thinking what happened to mom she shrank... oh well they will miss each other...

as a general rule you should certainly keep them separate, however if they have been exposed already i wouldn't stress about it too much.
