Aussie Finch Forum

Hi every1
Is there another type of insect that finches can eat beside mealworms that can be breed at home.

Some will take baby crickets, Í've even heard of people useing White Worms, but the most common apart from mealworms is gentles (bushfly maggots). I still prefer termites, by far the best.

I removed a nest box from the corner of the aviary today , in the time it took to place it out of the way ( on the roof ) and grab the keys to lock the door my Emblemas were on to the tiny spiders living behind the nest box ...give them mealies and no go see a spider and whoomf .

Spend hours collecting spiderwebs for the softbills to build their nests with, & always try to get as many babies on there, gone before I leave the aviary.

Great shed needs a clean out next guess who will be collecting baby spiders ? Hahahaha bet you all thought me , nope thats what kids are for. AS IF
