I use the storage tote that is about a foot wide by 3 or 4 feet long and a foot deep. Then take the lid and cut the middle out and duct tape wire mesh over it so that they cant jump out when they start getting thier wing feathers. It also lets you protect them from the heat lamp. I hang the lamp over 1 end and this way they can move away or to the heat as needed. I like the aquarium when I have button quail babies but that is about it. Jenn
