Could you please give me your ideas on the sex of these zebs. (Were supposed to be a male and 2 females, But I hasve my doubts now) The biggest one caves, but the other 2 don't at all.

Yes, that's what I thought. The only thing that puzzles me is that only the big male in the 3rd picture caves. The other male never does!
1st pic female
2nd pic 99% male
3rd pic male

thats not uncommon with the caving... i have a girl that caves all the time in reverse... backs in so she can watch the world go past... lol
and a couple males with one caving and one does not... but they fight from time to time....

Yes, my 2 males have faught in the past, I had an earlier post with reguards to the now confirmed smaller male. Where it's tail was all damaged which I thought was a fungal / bacterial infection, but I now think was down to fighting.

I agree, 1sr female, last male and middle prob male, he is poss a subordinate male but may challenge this with the alpha at some point.
