Obtained a pet quail, now what?
I have obtained an Australian brown stubble quail and just want to know that i am doing right by it. What type of enclosure would you recommend for a single quail? What should I be feeding it? Currently on a seed mix with access to leaves, leaf cover, small plants and bugs. UPDATE for context: it was dropped off to me this morning. Was found in the paddock by itself (not unusual) but is a juvenile. Was this a misguided rescue and should I just release it and hope for the best? We live in the middle of nowhere so you rescue an animal yourself (you get permits after rescue) or you leave it to die. I am one of the known people who take in wildlife, hence why it was dropped of to me. I live on a farm and am wondering if I should just release it and let nature do its thing (hoping its old enough) UPDATE UPDATE: spoke with some other wildlife carers. Too young to be put on its own know, will release when I can!
