So found a button quail male that is super quiet according to his rescuers and they are looking for someone to adopt the lil guy from their care. Heres a list of things ive come up with that ill need for the cage and caring for him, aside from building the cage which im already taking care of, and finding him a girlfriend. Heres the list Supplys for Reggies care Food: Chicken/Turkey Layers, Mealworms, Egg shell, seeds, Spinach/veggies, grit Calcium Supplement: Cuttlebone/oyster shell/calcium tablet Water Bedding: Wood Shavings over Sweet PDZ Sand Bath Feeder: Trough or hanging feeder Waterer: Hanging Water bottle Sand Bath: Raised bowl with sand Nest: Separate area with hide hole Heat: Lamp/Heating Pad Wire: ¼ square mesh
I have just recently started with Button Quail but I would say you are on the right path. I have a setup with several that I am trying to figure out which ones are male or female, if I end up figuring that out I would be glad to give you a girlfriend for him lol. Good luck with the setup, my LOVE LOVE LOVE live mealworms and fresh cut grass. Keep in touch and we will see if I can get your lil lonely guy a girlfriend.
Just make sure no wire for flooring. Gamebird starter or maintenance crumbles for food. Unmedicated. Mealworms a plus. Mix finch seeds to crumbles,add calcium carbonate (oyster shell).
My pen is gonna have a treated plywood floor with sweet PDZ base covered with Wood shavings for a soft bedding. im so spoiling these birds
