Bedding tips for indoors

[Stumars]

Hi,

Moving our lil guys into an indoor large vivarium in our living room for the winter. Guys are 3 years old and I think they earned an easy winter.

Any bedding tips?

I'm going for anti bac sawdust with biochar.
Any tips to avoid smells?

I'd avoid sawdust. Pine chips/flakes are good. Quail are very dusty without making it worse with sawdust.

Wood flakes are dusty also. I would use small bark.

thanks, ill get that once i used this up. Is bark good at stopping the amonia smell?

Like with any bedding materials you need to remove the physical waste for all smell to be gone. If you have some PDZ / zeolite that will extend the days you can clean the bedding.

I expect to clean once a week really considering the size of the enclosure and number of birds (3)
