I have big sacks of woodshavings as I use them for the rabbit and guinea pigs. Id read somewhere that quail chicks will eat the shavings and get bunged up. I'll move them over to shavings tomorrow then.
As long as you're not using cedar shavings for your rabbit and guinea pigs, you don't want to use cedar with quail or chicks. I did feel more comfortable using pine pellets personally because even when they break apart it's compressed pine dust so it doesn't get compacted. I use the pine pellets with my chicken chicks from day one.
