my budgoes have lyed one egg in the egg box i have only 2 days at this point and i have bought a new cage do i switch them to the new cage

do i switch the budgies to a new cage i only saw an egg today and the cage came with a nest box from the previos owner

Hi,

I would move them to a new cage, but without the eggs or nest for now. Let them rest for at least 6 months before giving them the nest box. Once you give them the box, only let them have it while they are breeding and raising chicks, but rest them after each clutch. You should limit them to 2 clutches per year.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
