I havn't tried to determine if she has a preference yet, though that would be an interesting experiment. I'm willing to bet she would learn pretty fast which one gets her the mealworms! She definetly gets way more excited for them and will work longer for them.

Yeah i don't mind training dogs - the dogs are the easy bit. It's the owners that are a tad hard to train and as for other trainers - completely unmanageable LOL. I wouldn't mind taking on the odd case here and there with people who are actually going to listen, put effort in and not waste my...

Moby suggested I start a thread about this so here it goes :) I used to keep quail for years as a teenager and for a university project I built an incubator and hatched some coturnix in class, and grew them out at the school (I'm taking Animal Health Technology, ie Veterinary Technology) I'm...
