quarantine question

Post by Tish » Sun Mar 11, 2018 1:10 am

Okay tomorrow I will be buying 2 budgies from a local store. How long should I quarantine them before I put them beside my society finches? I have a double flight that I will be putting a divider in so they will be very close once quarantine is over. Each half is 32 by 18 by 36 when divided. I just want to make sure my 6 society finches are not infected by something, because I know their healthy.

Do budgies usually pass illness on to finches? I have never quarantined any of my birds and I have quite a number of them now. I just treat them when they get sick.

30, 60, 90 days. You can also make sure they get checked by a vet in the first 30 days. Usually, most illnesses are seen in that time frame.
