Introduction: Zip Tie Cuttlebone Holder for Birds
Cuttlebones are essential for maintaining the strength and robustness of your beautiful pet birds’ bones because they supply them with the necessary calcium. From now on ” everything ” is for free !! . No more spending money at pet stores on cuttlebones and cuttlebone holders. Typically, cuttlebones come with a metal attachment that holds them to the bird cage; this is not practical, and the metal frequently rusts. In this instructable, I’ll show you how to make your own cuttlebone holder at home using zip ties because cuttlebone holders are pricey and waste a lot of money.
Where to Put Cuttlebone in Your Bird’s Cage
Cuttlefish bones can be placed in a cage in a variety of ways, but I like to hang mine by a zip tie between two verticle bars, with the longer end (or 99 percent of the bone) inside the pen.
To ensure that the zip lock stays securely in place, I make sure to drill holes through the cuttlebone and around the bars.
Although I am aware that some bird parents favor cuttlebone holders, I can never seem to prevent them from toppling over.
My GCC gave the cuttlefish bone a little prod, and I was able to balance the bone once more.
