Counting Chickens B4 They're Hatched
OK, I have the solution to all the OP's problems. Why didn't I see it before???
To keep the mice from invading the quail cage after food, he can put food on the floor for them. He can buy little hamster-sized bowls and fill them with peanut butter, cracked grain, and other snacks so the poor little beasties won't have to exert themselves getting into the quail cage. Then he can lay some nice bedding down so they have somewhere to breed and a soft place to lay their little headsies. Since they love to gnaw, he can provide them with little hamster gnawing sticks, or better yet, some nice furniture. Then he can live happily ever after, and so can the mice.
The rest of us are wasting our time here. And OP, if you ever move to Arizona, please let me know so I can avoid renting to you. Enjoy your day!
