My young quails LOVE dandelions.. its in season

[geminihc]

seeing that there are dandelions everywhere, i picked a few and put it in. and it turns out the 4 week old quails love them, they keep chewing and chewing on it. apparently they are quite nutritious even for humans.

i hope they dont over-eat on it.

Do your quail have access to grit?

 

[geminihc]

yes they have a sandbath with natural sand, and they tend to peck it alot. i assume they are consuming some of it. they peck more than they actaully bath there.

Sand isn't grit.

Idk what grit is but we give our quail sand and sometimes let them play in dirt under the grass.

Grit is small rocks/pebbles that help them digest their food, especially if it's fibrous or tough.

For quail we're talking tiny. Something like this, but you don't necessarily have to buy it.
