  • FUN NATURAL CHEW TOY FOR SMALL PETS Looking for a natural way to keep your pet entertained for hours on end? These fun little willow wicker vine balls are the ideal way to keep your small pet busy. The light-weight natural material can be chewed, carried, thrown, and shredded apart.
  • STRESS-RELIEVING Chew toys are a great way to alleviate anxiety and stress. Chewing is a natural behavior for most small pets and is a healthy way for them to de-stress.
  • MENTALLY STIMULATING In the wild many small pets chew and shred items for nesting purposes and mimicking that behavior in captivity can help keep your pet happy and mentally stimulated. Chewing can help prevent your pet from becoming bored and resorting to unhealthy behaviors like chewing on cage bars.

Give your pet one of these balls before you leave for work and they'll be sure to be kept happily munching away until you get home again.
  • ALL NATURAL These balls are made from one single ingredient; naturally dried willow wicker. They are a safe, undyed, untreated toy that's perfect for mice, gerbils, hamsters, parakeets, and finches..

First thing I would do is check to make sure it isn't on the floor of the cage for another reason. Gently pick it up and look for obvious injuries or signs of disease. Sitting puffed up with it head under its wing is usually a sign of something physically distressing to the bird, and its important to rule out other issues before assuming its lack of feeding. If the parents know there is something wrong with the chick they may have tossed it out, or be refusing to feed it for this reason. If the chick looks ok then I would place it back in the nest with the rest of the chicks. If it continues to jump out there is not much you can do but try hand feeding if the parents refuse to feed it. Usually the parents only feed it for a few weeks more after it fledges so you starting uni shouldn't be an issue, I think you will have enough time to wean it by them. The Lafeber's Nutri-start is the hand feeding formula I would recommend: https://www.amazon.com/Lafebers-Nutri-Start-feeding-formula-11-Ounce/dp/B0002ARFRY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521578012&sr=8-1&keywords=lafebers+hand+feeding
if you decide to go that route, but be sure you understand how to properly hand-feed the chick before jumping into it. Good luck!

Discovered these vine balls recently. (Looks like this specific one may be out of stock.) Our finches love moving them around, and have figured out that if they work hard enough, they can tear them apart and then play with the individual sticks.

Also, a small coconut thing that they love.

It takes them around 2 weeks to not be freaked out by anything new haha.

Here's the cage I've got: http://www.amazon.com/Prevue-Products-Wrought-F040-31-Inch/dp/B00176F5L0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396910974&sr=8-1&keywords=flight+cage

There's two nest boxes in there, multiple perches, three water dishes on different levels (including a dish on the floor), and two food dishes on different levels.

There's four zebras now, all male. I figured since our other two males got along great and I didn't have to worry about eggs, that it wasn't such a bad idea. =/

I can't imagine their markings would have anything to do with it, but maybe? The pied zebra is fine, but the one being picked on is a black cheeked zebra. The other two are just normal noisy guys. =)

No heat lamps but if there's a good reason to get one, I will. We keep the house in the low 70's and they're in front of a well insulated sliding door that gets a good amount of evening sun.

So... about 4'x2' I'm guessing.

I assume it's the LENGTH that is the main issue. If you went only 1 more foot in depth, you could accommodate 6 finches. One more foot sticking out could likely be accommodated in a small space - even if it means rearranging something. (like, if you're fitting it on a table, sticking out 15.2 centimeters on either side won't make it structurally unsound) Failing that, you could try adding height to your cage. It's less ideal than length but still more useful than nothing.

I wouldn't do more than two in a cage that size. Zebra finches tend to be rather pushy, so even a moderate-sized flight cage could be too small for all of them. I might be too late, but I don't recommend vision cages. They are a horrible pain to clean, since you have to take the whole bottom off. A cage like this is much better, and costs about the same.
