He really wants me to use it.. The materials used are okay I think.. its made of clay and it has two holes, one on the side and one on top. It can also be hanged on the outside of the cage and its pretty big too and strong. I though of covering the top hole and connect the other one with the cage and then I could uncover the top hole to check on the chicks? I don't know.. If I could use it at least once to make my brother happy.. would that be okay? I won't start breeding until next year when my budgies are the correct age but it seems that everyone is getting prepared already lol Link to comment

Other than that I'm not really sure.. what are the dimensions? Edited March 23, 2009 by JimmyBanks Link to comment

If it was me I probably wouldnit use it Link to comment

I can fit my hand through them. One is 8cm in diameter and the other one is 6cm. It is rectangular in shape. and about it getting cold.. the breeding cage will be indoors, and I could put some kind of bedding in it? Link to comment

Access for checking chicks and cleaning it out isnt good enough, and it sounds too small for a pair of budgie parents in there and up to 5-6 chicks. Link to comment

I don't think he had budgies but he did know of people that used them to breed budgies... not sure how successful they were though... Link to comment

Some we have seen in use arent quite like that and the room inside is more limited which would be hard if the Mum and dad have 5-6 chicks and not enough space. Link to comment
