i have seen a new cage on the net which has no tray to pull out for cleaning, the top lifts off, and it has a grid which lies on the bottom to stop birdie being in his own muck. i am very tempted to buy one but then someone has said the the sanded sheets are good for birdie feet.
any help would be much appreciated, thanks |
Hi there
my new cage has a tray at the bottom & bars going across the top of it so the bird doesnt walk in his mess. I find my sand sheets last longer too.
Someone told me sand sheets are not great for the birds feet as they are quite rough but i dont know if this is true.
You could try using newspaper or buy some sand grit for the bottom inside. They sell a huge bag of it in Wilkinson for only £3.99
Hope this helps,
