Lovely Suz!

Aww

Lovely photos Suz will have to put them on my wanted list

Hi Suz,

I'll be intrested in seeing your mini quail when they reach adulthood,Can you post photo's? Lol. Derek

Of course I will Derek, any excuse to get the out. As if I really need one

suz how much room do you actually have lol my mom would love it if i had that many quail.............................NOT

as im new to all this can anyone help ? how many quails (chicks-adults) can you fit in a brooder ? after seeing suz photos i think im under stocking my brooders !

No - I have 3 of these boxes & 2 indoor plastic rabbit cages that I use for brooders, When they first hatch I keep them all together, but as they grow I seperate them to give them more room, this picture was taken when I stuck them all in one box when cleaning them out, It was easier that way so people could see the various size difference between species.

and what were the dimennsions again please suz

Oh i've no idea - they are B&Q's largest storage/toy boxes (have no idea where the tape measure is) & 2 of these, but bought from local pet store -

Hi,

I use the indoor rabbit cages too. You can also buy clip on light connections from Wilkingson for a few quid,These are placed on the wire at each end.For the first week or so, I also place a towel over the top of the wire lid, so to keep all the heat in.They are lightweight, very easy to clean too.I've used these cages for a number of years now, and I've only have one die in them.

oo thankyou for that one
