    Sand as Substrate for CBBQ

    I recently decided to try sand as a substrate for my button quail Spankie. He is a few years old and has only been on paper bedding and bark. I liked the bark but it was hard to keep clean. I put 10lbs of sand into the bottom of his tank and placed a bowl of paper bedding for him to sleep on. I...

Unfortunately two failed to thrive and one died today very suddenly (I believe she aspirated, because her entire chin was covered in fluid). Of the remaining four, three...

    Button quail egg cracked and is still alive!

    It's day 19 for my button eggs, and I was doing the float test. The last egg I accidentally dropped while it was wet, it was slippery and they are just sooo tiny, and it cracked a tiny bit (in the air cell though! lucky). I made a small viewing window, and I saw movement. I immediately upped...

    Oops, new thermostat...

    It's currently day 18 for my button quail eggs, and I've calibrated my thermostat incorrectly. I trusted my Zilla temp controller to hold a steady temperature, and it did. BUT, I accidentally set it to 98, due to the turn dial. I thought it was at 100, but I don't think it has been. I have a lot...
