    What is wrong with my baby button quail?

    I know--it's in everything I've read too. I'm very tempted to just ignore her warning and buy the high protein food again. My baby is VERY clingy to me. He paces the wall of his tank watching me, trying to get at me any time I'm not right beside him. I've tried stuffed toys but they didn't...

    What is wrong with my baby button quail?

    Hello! I’m a first time button quail owner with a bit of a concern.
