I know there has been a little written about "budgie grass". I planted some budgie seeds in small containers and when sprouted put one in Charley's cage. He LOVES it!! My question is this.. is it okay to leave there while its growing beautifully (he looks like he has a little plot of "lawn"!).. can he have too much of it? He loves to eat it, play with it, talk to it, stand in it. I'm just hoping that he wont be eating too much of it.. but I dont really want to take it away from him as he is getting so much enjoyment from his little patch!! Any ideas??

Sounds like good nutrition to me

Sounds great, he sounds very happy with his little patch of lawn Good for him too

Yes, it is fine !!!!!!

Mine get a lot of grass in winter - it grows like crazy in our garden, so i pull it out roots and all - I give them the soil too - i swear its good for their immune system!!! (i do keep them well wormed too )

I do it just like Liv

Me too, I don't wipper snip, i just grap and pull lol ....

That's great then. He is so overjoyed with his patch of "lawn", i'm happy to hear he can keep doing his own "mowing"!! I was worried that it was nutritionally bad for him but I guess as I dont use any chemicals and its just seed growing naturally it's okay. I am growing it in a number of separate little containers so that as one begins to look a bit "used" i have another to take its place.

 

Sometimes you think "am I doing the right thing??" and just need that confirmation from those who are more experienced! :hap:

 

Thanks for the comments and advice. :hap:
