New Zebra Cage

Post by Lithium » Sat Aug 10, 2013 10:06 pm

So, today I bought a bigger cage for my Zebra Finch family. They went from a 25" x 15" x 25" to a 30" x 18" x 33". I was gonna wait for the babies to wean, but my mom made me move them. Thankfully, the male is still feeding the babies. I'll post some pics soon, my phone is not allowing me to post pics.

After I had moved them I had to go to my cousin's birthday party, I kept think of the worst possible scenarios. I kept thinking I was gonna come home to find out the female had plucked one of the babies to death or they hadn't been feed and were starving. Thankfully, they were all fine when I got home. Right now they have the dowl perches that came with the cage in it. I'll get them better perches when the babies are fully weaned and are starting to molt into their adult colors.
