Quail cage enrichment

[calicocows]

Hello! I’m working on adding stuff to my quail tank and was wondering if anyone has suggestions of what to add and where to get it? I want to add clutter so they feel safe. It’s a 42 gallon (36x18x18”) aquarium w a screen lid (that I still can’t figure out how to secure) and paver sand on the bottom as a combo grit and sand bath material. I’m going to add peat moss as well to part of it, just to make sure they can dust bathe. Other than a brick to put their feeder/waterer on to keep sand out of it and the birds nails short, I have no idea what to add. Fake plants and bunny hides? something else? Where’s a good place to get quail safe versions of these?

If you want to go more natural looking than dollar store baskets, you can use bunny hides. Plant pots turned on their sides work as well. Fake plants are also good, but try to avoid fake vines. They can get tangled up in those.
