    Bobwhite Quail can make excellent house pets.

    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...

    Bobwhite Quail can make excellent house pets.

    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...

    Bobwhite Quail can make excellent house pets.

    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.

    Bobwhite Quail can make excellent house pets.

    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 :)

    Bobwhite Quail can make excellent house pets.

    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?

    Bobwhite Quail can make excellent house pets.

    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...

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

    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?

    Bobwhite Quail can make excellent house pets.

    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...

    What quail is better, for a "pet"? California Quail? or Bobwhite?

    Bobwhites need their covey to survive in the cold though. They're still small birds and lose heat fairly easily. Seems from my past surveys that female bobwhites are the snuggliest. Californians make great pets too but seem less appreciating of cuddles. However, it also seems male bobwhites can...

    Help! my bobwhite has stopped eating and seems to have reflux

    In case anyone was following this thread. After 3 different vets I have lost my baby. I am devastated. Vet 1 thought reproductive tract infection. (5 shots of baytril 50) Vet 2 thought lack of gut bacteria, digestive issues. Must be lacking calcium. (1 shot of baytril, calc+D added to the...
