Larger Nest for Baby Zebra Finches

Hard call. Find a local breeder or bird club.
They need their combined body heat to keep each other warm until they get old enough.
If you change nests, handle them carefully. Make sure they don't get too much room and get separated from each other.
Use a larger nest for the next clutch. Make sure you have enough nesting material so that the mother can adjust the nest size to the brood size.

I had a pair of finches that also laid a nest of eggs. When they hatched, the male finch killed all the babies. I would remove him right away, especially if the cage is crowded.

I don't know about finches but I do know that most birds will abandon their nest if you touch the nest before or after the eggs hatch.

Hi Wanda
First I would like to know is it a regular finch nest?
If it is then it will be fine. I like a deep nest so when they build it there is plenty room Here is one of my pictures there is plenty of room in it.
There is a smaller one but they do fine in it too
