Andyn 534 Report post Posted May 27, 2018 Hi Matt, and welcome to the world of Zebra Finches. I have pairs that refuse to go into any nest box I provide and also tried a Canary Nest Pan. Some pairs took to that but others built on the cage floor. (took all the nesting material out of the box to build it though. (daft or what)) Can you fix your box high up so that there is no space on the roof? Also what type of entrance do you have?. If it's a round 'bob hole' perhaps change it to a full open one. (letter box opening) Usually half open fronted. Hope that helps Andyn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
