Hi,
Sorry if this is not in the right category, I’m very new to this forum!
I currently have two zebra finches. I’ve kept many different species of parrots and passerines but have settled down and am pretty happy with my two little finches. For a long time I’ve felt that they need an upgrade. While the cage is not small, it’s not huge. I’ve been wanting to build or modify a new cage, but there’s something that interests me.
I also keep two snakes, both in bioactive tanks. I want to know, would it theoretically be possible to keep finches with a bioactive substrate? Instead of a grate that needs constant cleaning, perhaps a more organic mix with plants and a cleanup crew. A little like naturalistic quail keeping which I’ve looked into some. Of course it could never replace actual cleaning, but it would be nice to give them something more natural to dig and mess around in, and maybe some live bird-safe plants to hide around. Any ideas would be great!
