- Drinking water: When budgies drink, they often let some water drip from their beaks. This can cause a wet patch to form on the cage floor.
- Bathing: Budgies love to bathe and will often splash water around when they do. This can also cause a wet patch to form on the cage floor.
- Droppings: Budgie droppings are quite liquid and can sometimes cause a wet patch to form on the cage floor.
- Illness: In some cases, a wet patch on the cage floor can be a sign of illness. If you are concerned that your budgie may be sick, please take them to a veterinarian.
Here are a few things you can do to help prevent a wet patch from forming on the cage floor:
- Place a water bottle with a drip guard on the cage so that your budgie doesn't drip water when they drink.
- Provide your budgie with a bathing bowl so that they can bathe without splashing water around.
- If your budgie tends to make a mess when they drink or bathe, you can place a shallow bowl under the area where they do it.
- Clean the cage floor regularly to prevent the droppings from building up and forming a wet patch.
