    Hmmm, is it the calling for a mate "bob bob white" call or the weird I'm not sure about this and it's a bit startling? If it's the bob bob white one that could be a bit season dependent. And well being a new place everything is weird often. Have you pictures of your old fella?

    Oh! Cozy lil girl! When we go on trips away we used to just bring a cardboard base/old towels and our version of this type of hutch http://www.ebay.com/itm/PREMIUM-PLUS-A-FRAME-CHICKEN-COOP-RABBIT-HUTCH-WOOD-HEN-HOUSE-FERRET-GUINEA-PIG-/131539529583?hash=item1ea05def6f:g:py4AAMXQlgtS88I~ I...

    No human food. I was hoping to have her live a long and healthy life with us. We did feed her fruit and veggies though. She loved celery, apple and anything sweet as a treat :) Kale, spinach and especially CORN :) I had a chihuahua carrier she could be in safely and she came when called. That's...

    I used to take her with me everywhere. The downside of the house roaming in ours and friends houses is she picked up a map pin at some point and that was her slow end. Took 3 vets and 2 months to figure it out :( I miss her so much.

    I miss my little girl. We used to do that. And to answer your question yes. To a certain extent. I kept Quincy on shell grit. Dry, big enough to not be sand, although some of it was.... but I didn't stress about her digestion or calcium. You look like great buddies :)

    Aw so many house quail :D I agree with Robecki, sand is great :) I used a mixture of sand and shell grit for a long time. The pine shavings isn't ideal because they eat it and it can clog them up a bit. They don't really nest like flying birds, but will lay in a soft comfy spot if they can. Must...

    Very worried!!! Chicks breathing fast and making a clicking noise...

    I don't know if there's anything you can do besides warmth and antibiotics. If you go to a vet they might inject them?

    So far everyone I know who has been unlucky enough for only 1 chick from the clutch make it and treated them like one of the family. I.e. lots of cuddles and time has had a great little companion. They adapt really well and although aren't a domesticated bird I think are much more suitable for...

    Sadly yes I think. It's the sound of fluid in the lungs, so a respiratory tract infection. Antibiotics is about all you have :( Good luck.

    I'm having exactly the same problem with a little bobwhite quail. Help please? Should I try and get some antibiotics for the water?

    I assume this was for me. Quincy must have picked up a map pin somewhere. She used to come with me to friends houses etc. She had been unwell on and off for a couple months and I took her to 3 different vets before the last one decided to x-ray her. Surgery was our only long term option, but it...
