Is it really necessary to use sand paper for the floor of the cage, or is there any other alternatives?

in sweeties new cage, there is a grate grate at the bottom so she cant actually get on the floor where the trays are, is this ok or would it be better for her to get right on the floor?

Grate is there so the droppings fall on the tray and do not stick to budgies feet. Also it is very easier to remove and clean the tray.

Mine has a grate with a tray underneath and I put paper in the tray but also on top of the grate because it is so awkward to clean the poop off the grate each week. This helps me also because I have arthritis and I have trouble lifting anything heavy x |

Paper over the grate makes cleaning day way easier. Every day change the paper, change water and blow off husks. Three little chores make a budgie happy and healthy. After a week the grate can be a b***er to get the dried poo off. Newspaper is cheap, you are recycling, and it can be thrown away when the birds have had their way with it. Like Rachael, I put paper over the tray as well, just because I hate cleaning. But if the grate is properly protected the tray stays clean any way. |
