FAQs
How many sheets are included in total?
Each purchase includes twelve packs, with six sheets per pack, totaling 72 sheets.
How often should I replace the sandpaper sheets?
It is recommended to replace the sanded sheets once or twice a week, or more often if they become heavily soiled, to ensure a clean cage.
Can I use these liners for any type of bird?
These liners are suitable for a variety of common pet birds including Budgies, Canaries, Cockatiels, Finches, and Parrots.
What if the sheets don't fit my cage perfectly?
The sandpaper material is designed to be easily cut down with scissors to fit smaller or custom-shaped cages.
Is the sandpaper safe for my bird?
The sandpaper is intended as a disposable cage liner. While generally safe for its intended use, monitor your bird to ensure they are not excessively chewing or ingesting the material.
Can these liners help with my bird's nails?
The abrasive surface of the sandpaper may contribute to natural wear and tear of a bird's claws over time.
Troubleshooting
Sheets are too large for the cage.
Use sharp scissors to carefully trim the edges of the sandpaper sheet to fit your specific cage dimensions before placing it inside.
Bird is chewing the sandpaper.
Monitor your bird closely. If chewing is excessive or concerning, consider removing the sandpaper and using an alternative cage liner material. Some birds may ingest small amounts without issue, but significant consumption should be avoided.
Sandpaper is not staying flat.
Ensure the cage floor is clean and dry before placing the liner. You can try placing a small amount of cage substrate or food on top of the liner to help keep it in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the Sandpaper Cage Liners, simply remove a sheet from the pack. If necessary, use scissors to cut the sheet to match the dimensions of your bird's cage floor. Place the cut sheet directly onto the bottom of the cage or over the existing tray. Ensure it lies flat.
Compatibility: These liners are designed for use in standard bird cages and are suitable for a range of bird species including Budgies, Canaries, Cockatiels, Finches, and Parrots. They can be trimmed to fit most cage sizes and shapes.
Care: The primary 'care' instruction is replacement. It is recommended to replace the sanded sheets once or twice a week, or more frequently if they become heavily soiled, to maintain a clean and hygienic environment.
