So, my fiance and I want to get into raising quail. We've built an incubator and have an old terrarium that would make a great brooder. I have some specific ideas for their adult enclosure, and am probably going to be building that from scratch.
Since we're going to be keeping them outside (we live in CA), I have a couple questions about cleaning the cage.
Do they escape easily?
Just wondering for when I would be cleaning, if they can/will jump out.
If you keep them on wood shavings, how often do you clean?
Are they easy to lure someplace else?
Was wondering for the cleaning - when I want to do an intensive clean, would it be possible to get them to hop into a temporary cage, or are they easy enough to handle that you just nab 'em and put them into another cage (we're going to get coturnix)?
Thanks so much! This place has been a great resource for me!
