Raising Baby Quail

[QuailMom14]

I want to make sure I have everything right so far for healthy baby quail. They are in an enclosed circle tub with mesh on top. They get fresh water twice a day and always have crushed gamebird feed. I have a ceramic heat lamp but will be getting a red infered heat lamp sometime today. I keep the cage between 95° and 100° until next week which I'll be turning down they degrees a bit. They are kept inside in a room due to lost of chickens recently from other wild animal. Is there anything else I can do or improve anything?

Looks like a good setup. Just be prepared to move them to a bigger brooder as they grow. They will grow FAST (you'll wake up each morning and they'll be bigger!) and can become aggressive with each other if not given enough space.
