Check the age** of your zebra finches. They typically start laying eggs between the ages of 6 and 12 months.
Provide the right nesting material. Zebra finches need soft, warm material to build their nests, such as hay, cotton, or coconut fibers.
Ensure their diet is balanced. Providing a diet rich in vitamins and minerals is essential for egg production. Offer a variety of seeds, fruits, vegetables, and supplements.
Make sure there is enough space in the cage. Zebra finches need plenty of room to fly and stretch their wings, so a cage that is at least 18 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 12 inches high is ideal.
Provide a suitable nesting box. The nesting box should be about 4 inches square and 6 inches deep, with a small entrance hole. Place the nesting box in a quiet, sheltered spot in the cage.
Check the temperature and humidity. Zebra finches prefer temperatures between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity levels between 40 and 60 percent.
Zebra finches are social animals and prefer to live in pairs. If you only have one zebra finch, it may not feel comfortable laying eggs.

If you have checked all of these things and your zebra finches still are not laying eggs, you should take them to a veterinarian to rule out any medical problems.**
