Getting button quail and have a few questions

[pheasantfreak]

I want to get some button quail and know that i have to keep them in side and i want to keep them in a fish tank but was wondering what size tank i should keep a pair of them in also whats a good bedding for them. I would love to see some pics of your set up and also if you have a pair for sale and willing to ship them i would love to take them off your hands

I have my pair in a 20gl tank and they love it!!! I hear pine/aspen is a decent bedding. An straw. I think I am getting cedar from my feed store by accident so I have to find different bedding. Check my byc page for pics of their setup. Relatively new to them myself buuuut I think I am doing a good job... Getting eggs from them!!! You need a real big enclosure for them to go broody I hear tho.. PM me if you want.

Do you have a wire lid?

No but I can always go to lows and gets some screen to put on it.
