What do you mean by "breeding", do you mean they have mated? Or have they actually laid eggs?

Do you want them to breed?

If they lay eggs. You can freeze them if you don't want them...

If you don't want them to breed then separate.

Just don't incubate them if you do not want babies.

I would always try and promote captive breeding of any thing ,only if the market for the sale was so hopless would I encourage egg neglect.
