Question for anyone/everyone:
My quail keep getting dried balls of poop stuck to their toes, encapsulating their talons.
I have tried to clean them, but it usually results in bloody toes... seems like their claws either pull out or separate from the nail bed. I'm trying to avoid further injury...
Right now, I do deep pile straw, but am looking at Maybe changing that method, but does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning and keeping clean their feet? I was trying to avoid wire to avoid bumblefoot issues, and they seem to like the straw.
