➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[muddy75]

Dang it I want some rabbits.

Get ya some! I started with the 2 this time.....last time I got the boys each 1 and didn’t sex them and let’s just say it didn’t go well! 1 ate the extra plastic bowl that someone put in while we were away and I had no idea about heated waterers back then so even though we tarped the cage, the horrible winter that year ended up claiming the other 2. Of course today feels more like fall again than spring/summer!! Only in the 60’s right now!! Hubby said pull out he turkey fryer and hunting gear cuz it must be going to snow soon!!!!!

Do you have real dogs?

My dog is like 1/16 wolf she won't eat in the day time unless we're really active and she's hungry. She has a full food bowl basically 24/7 because she only eats when she's on empty. And it's gonna be used for quail feed not dog, we've had one inside since she was 6 weeks and never bothered it.

I'm kinda worried they will bite me.

Do they hold up outdoors?

They're tough plastic, but still plastic, so I wouldn't leave them out in the sun or in freezing weather. They're air tight, so they would also be water tight, but some water might fall in when you open/close the lids. I'd say they'd be fine in a sheltered outdoor area.

That should not be your fear. They sometimes nibble but have never drawn blood on me, none of the six from sweet babies to cranky does.

They will accidentally SCRATCH THE CRAP OUT OF YOU THOUGH. Regular toenail trimming and leather handling gloves are a must. And they're kinda dirty so the scratches like to scar on me.

Our bunny is small and not food. She's our business mascot and rules the house. I used to raise meat rabbits, but now I don't think I could.

I can really only recommend the traditional style wire cages for rabbits you almost never plan on removing. They hate it. I hate it. Everyone hates it. It's easier with small rabbits.

It's just a simple, free permit. I had thought I read that coturnix were fine and no permit was needed. She said as long as I send back my application it will be fine and she made a note that I called. Nice thing about a vast, empty state, you can get the right people on the phone pretty easy and they remember you.
It was the NPIP VS form 9-3 that gave me away.

Be sure and check all the fine print. Here I can get a free permit to have quail but if I want to even give away eggs or meat let alone sell any it becomes a $50 bird farm license.
