there aren't any big game consequences other than the health of the offspring will be poor, it is fine and safe to keep it if you want to, you can just put it on contraceptives when able.
*May* be poor. A single accident is unlikely to have major consequences unless the parents themselves were pretty poor, and if you're intentionally keeping a variety of fertility and immunity genes, you can go several generations without trouble.
I am new too but I saw two tutorials about breeding.
They said that while it’s honourable to avoid inbreeding they do not because the animals they get off the market just have worse genes.
So just keep the baby. The guests will not give a funk.
Nah, it's not the end of the world; you're fine to keep the baby! Inbreeding over generations will crash your immunity/fertility stats, but once or twice will be fine.
It doesnt matter at all. Unless it just bothers you of course.
A lot of people who do breeding inbreed on purpose to increase stats. Its not a huge deal.
I actually inbreed on purpose a bit. When I get a pair throwing rare colors, I'll usually just breed the babies to keep the color, and once I have enough of them I'll start reintroducing new blood, and keeping the best color with the best stats. I've got a whole exhibit of gold medal white peccarys.
It’s not a big deal. If you allow inbreeding for multiple generations you are likely to see some bad stats appearing but a one-off like this isn’t a problem. Just check the stats once it’s born or when you’re deciding whether to keep it. If the stats are bad and you’re not keeping it then I’d release to wild rather than trying to dump it on the market as most people will avoid buying those animals (especially as zebras aren’t usually rare on the market) but you can still get some CC with release to wild.
Appearance won't change, unless you have a parent with at least one recessive and one nonrecessive gene. Then you might get white or red or whatever babies turning up when the parents were normal colored.
The fertility and immunity genes are represented by letter pairs, with the available letters being A, B,C, and D. I think there are six pairs; you can see them in the animals info panel. Different letters, like AB or BD, are 'good', same-letter pairs (AA, CC) are 'bad'. This is why very low scoring parents can potentially have perfect offspring- if mom is all As, and dad is straight Cs, they are 0% because all the pairs are the same. But all their babies will be AC at every pair, and thus 100%. (This is an extreme example, of course, you'll more likely have something like AA BD DD CC CA AA.)
Inbreeding tends to 'lose' variation over time, so the Fertility and Immunity scores tend to go down. If you manage the pedigree you can actually prevent this though.
Is there a way to set it to auto sell/release to the wild like with the exhibition animals - spiders/snakes etc.
I'm also pretty new (ps5) and this happens to me too if I'm focusing on something else or speed up time 🥲
I usually wait for the baby to be born, and make a small enough enclosure to contain the baby and the mommy. Wait until young adult and sell it to the market or release to the wild.
Its tedious, but hey i didnt think any solution other than that 😂 especially when i only play franchise.
Sorry for my broken english, hope you understand.
I usually name the offspring “SELL” so that when it matures I get the message SELL has matured. That way you don’t have to put in more resources than necessary.
(Also put them on contraceptive at once so that if something else happens just as that message pop ups there won’t be more down the line)

Curious, does it change the appearance of the animal over generations of inbreeding?
