During breeding, can I convert a third animal (not a parent) to food to make room for the newborn?

Question

Accepted Answer

Probably yes. The rulebook bars converting only the two parents and the baby while breeding is under way, so an animal outside that pair is not covered by the ban. It is rarely worth doing, since you can convert freely in the feeding phase.
