Splitting up the herd is no question today. When they did with Thi Ha Phyu and Khaing Lwin Htoo, the bull (Naing Theing) stood on his own 'island'. But with Radza things changed. He refused to step into his inside enclosure and therefore stays with the herd. His island is now part of the complete enclosure for all elephants. So; more room.

I think this situation can stand until the move to the new exhibit.

At least 3 times, probably 4 times the present one. With a special 'overnight' area, and a large barn.

I know that Emmen does'nt test its females for pregnancy anymore like they used to, but is there any presumed pregnancies?
