Nesting box and pads, fyi and reuse

[PrettyBirdRocky]

Did you cover them with something after putting them in? Mine did not like these at all. They would scratch and scratch until they were torn up. I have had good luck with cardboard.

I used a light layer of hay, they like moving the hay around. A couple of our newer boxes have cardboard in them and honestly the ones with a thicker layer of hay are the ones sought after most.

I think it’s great that they were sewn, they won’t move out of place or make wrinkles- if I was any good with a sewing machine or had your ideas I’m sure I would have done the same. I love that you’re recycling all you can. The signs of someone looking forward

I don't sew mine, the OP did. Far easier to just fold to fit your nest box exactly (width wise in my case, there's a little left over lengthwise but that's fine) and shove them in - the very slight tension created as they try to unfold keeps them wedged at the bottom of the nests.
