Hi Guys! I have chickens outside and now I want to have some Japanese quail in the house. The purpose would be for enjoyment and eggs! After much googling and consideration, I plan to get a large enclosure similar to a guinea pig or chinchilla cage for them, about 2'Hx2W'x7'L. It will have a solid bottom with relatively high plastic sides.
I want to have 3-5 females, no males. I have connected with someone local who is going to incubate some babies for me to raise up and tame myself and I will probably have them in hand by the end of next month.
I had some questions regarding bedding, mostly. I am considering doing a sand substrate that I can spot clean with a litter scooper then dump completely once a month or so. Does this seem doable? Or would a sand "bathing" area be better with a different kind of main substrate?
