Recently my female button quail seems to be gasping for air. She's opening and closing her beak but no sound is coming out. Could she be too hot? My male button doesn't do this, but they are in a 20 gallon aquarium that sometimes sits in direct sunlight. Or could she be egg bound? I just got her 2 weeks ago and she hasn't laid an egg yet. I think I stressed her out a lot today because I took her out of the tank and tried feeling her vent for an egg, but I can't tell. Right now she's huddled with her mate and breathing with an opening and closing beak. Also, she was eating and drinking earlier today. I would appreciate any help thanks!
