Nestbox Substrate

Having the proper substrate (bedding) in your breeding pairs nestbox is one of the most important aspects of your breeding round. Not enough material and you can suffer with splay legged babies. Improper bedding can hold moisture and promote fungal or bacterial growth. We offer two types of nestbox bedding choices that we have always used with success. Choices like coconut fiber (tangles legs) and Carefresh (holds moisture and can be injested) should be avoided.  White Pine LARGE flake dust-free shavings - no dust, and the large flake size makes it easier for your Budgerigars to "clean out" the box as they like to, and other species like the Lineolated like to shred them. Both activities act as a breeding trigger.  Sold by the cubic foot and is bagged in plastic. It is enough bedding for the laying/incubation phase and as many nestbox cleanings you need from hatch to fledging.
