Quail Losing Feathers

With this taking up most of the floor do they then dedicate in the box? If it isn’t mites, would you want that much drop through space taken up? Or maybe help me understand more on the why

Those are happy and pretty

Can you say this in a different way, I'm a little confused.

I don't keep my quail on dirt flooring to prevent mites. I keep my quail on dirt to keep their feet nice and because I believe keeping them on dirt is 100% better than keeping them on wire.

They do poop in the dirt and I do change it. It's actually peat moss.

My cages are covered so they do not get wet at all. Zero smell.

Oh I totally typed this wrong. I was out feeding.
I was asking if they defecate in the box. It makes sense. I take it that it’s easy to get bumble foot like rabbits do. Is that right? That’s a great idea. I actually just ordered new peat moss. I’m headed to grab some little boxes now.

You raised rabbits too?
What kind?

I just got my first pet bunny and I'm thinking about meat rabbits.

I buy big bags of peat moss at Home Depot or Lowe's for like 10 or $12 and one bag usually last me about 6 - 8 weeks.

I’ve always focused primarily on mini Rex, but several years ago I started raising lionheads and Californians. They are the best!!!! Highly recommend

My baby is a mini rex. I can't get over how soft he is.


I would love to see some pictures of yours.
