Best diet for indoor pet quails?
5 kg bags are suitable as they come in both chick and adult sizes, chick containing more protein. They do eat seeds etc but they arn't enough nutrition for them, you could provide both and let them pick away. Sent from my SM-G360F using Tapatalk -

-Raising Bobwhite Quail-
This is night 2-3 and so far so good but ive no males present only button quails both sexes and one other bob hen. They built the nest when I gave them a clump of grass to eat. If all goes well I was planning on getting a male in autumn/winter and see if she'll hatch her own. -
Snowflake bobwhite X Pure white Bobwhite?
There different colour forms so depending on genetics youd get either some being snowflakes and some white not a mixture of both -
Outside setups
The ramp might be a problem but steps usually work. I keep bobs and button on ground and have one part placed on cement while the other part has a cylinder block beneath ground level to stop rodents. There pretty happy birds digging eating seeds worms whatever they find -

How can I help a broody bob? Right now shes on two unfertile eggs but im thinking of putting button quail eggs under her to hatch them out -
bobwhite quail
Depends what you mean by tame, if my bobs get out i usually guide them to the wild patch( totally fenced off) to peck around and when its time to return them I can get right up to them and place a metal shopping basket over them to catch them so thats pretty tame for me -
Quail Nest Boxes?
My bobs and button quail lay in nests I provide but sometimes they laid outside the nest so id say put a box in. My bob has gone broody in her nest box -
Bobwhites
My bobwhite hen has been acting crazy today staying in the box which they made a dome out of grass so I placed 6 of their previous eggs laid the last three days under her. I checked when I came home (11pm) and shes sitting on them. There infertile (two hens) but im gonna try put button eggs... -
Aviary Birds - FAQs
I keep about 7 zebra finches three cockatiels and 7 button quails at the bottone of a 9ft L by 6.5ft H by 4 ft W. The quails will be kept together for a few days till they can feed themselves as they were parent raised and then seperated so the pair can nest again. For autumn when laying stops...- MrMe3257
