yeah I don’t think they’ll learn but it never hurts to try. They are getting a 25% protein game bird feed with crumbled oyster shell. They love the ramps actually. They like ahnging out and climbing up and down. They seem to be liking life quite well, and I also give them occasional fresh fruits...
By the way I’m trying to train them to poop in one place since their cage is relatively small and I put the poop tray in the middle of the cage. They don’t seem to be getting the hang of it but I know that they could hold it in, since right before they pooped, I kept pushing them around the cage...
I raise 2 quail as pets and they also give eggs every day. They’re both female. I raise them as if they’re a hanster but I sometimes take them out of their cage. Is my cage setup ok? I think it’s a bit small but others tell me they’re spoiled rotten by me
I think the reason now is that I have one quail (I have 2 housed together as house pets) that is bullying and pecking at her. She has a couple of feathers missing and she really isn’t liking it. I’ve tried many ways and asked oh this forum before but I just can’t seem to stop them from fighting...
I heard I can’t purchase Terramycin without a prescription (I live in CA). Do you have any other recommendations? I heard saline water can help but I’m not sure if it will be a permanent solution.
My poor little quail has an inflamed third eyelid. We left home for a while and the water got filthy and I think she got a bacterial infection. How can I treat it? Unfortunately, due to my situation, I cannot visit a vet :(. I have washed her eye already with water but I am doubtful that her...
I have 2 female quail. They were getting along well until one day one just pecked the other so the other started freaking out and running at the sight of her. I tried to separate them, putting the bully in a small cage before reintroducing. Each time, she just tries to go after her and before...
I am going on vacation for a week soon and I want to know how long I can leave them alone. Anyone have advice as to how often I should have people come over?
That‘s weird, mine don’t even fly anymore. They don’t fly at all. They can only rin or hop small distances. Since our cage door is elevated, they have to fly to get out but they don’t.
I have 2 female coturnix quail. Originally, I tried to take them out of the cage and it worked! But they’re still terrified of outside of their cage, and I do want to let them roam free. They’re also terrified of my hand especially when I move it and when they freak out they start panting a lot...
I have 2 that i plan to raise like this, in 2 days by rewarding them with treats they can come out their cage into the house. They let me pet them now but nowhere as much as you! wont let me pick up and if i do, they get a bit scared, but one of them loves pets and the other one, dosnt really...
Guys, I did it in one day. First, I trained them to be able to go under my hand which is a trick I call ”tunnel” as if they’re passing under my hand like a tunnel. They let me pet them now and calmly walk away if they’re not comfortable. I used so many leaves to do this 😂. And then, set up a...
I stopped using the top door now, and now only use the side door. they seem friendly enough just wont get out of the cage and dont like ebing touched. And yes, i do scoop them from the bottom, but they kick in the air. it seems when they accidentally hop out, they get really scared and hide...
