Hello everyone,
I recently bought some quail and am enjoying keeping them. Before I got them, I heard they can be messy and that certainly seems to be true!
I keep them in a shed in a hutch with a run. At the moment they rarely go in the hutch, the run has some trays of grass, sand bath, few other items to entertain them. I have put cardboard on the bottom of the run.
I clean them out each week, this involves me trying to catch them in the run (which is a challenge) and put them in the hutch. They don’t seem to really enjoy this and neither do i!! I then take out the cardboard and replace it.
I wonder if anyone has any tips of how to make cleaning them out easier and hopefully less stressful for them. Whether there is something else I can put on the bottom of the run or if I should take them out each time and put them in a box.
Thanks for your help. Any tips would be much appreciated.
