Give each quail at least 1 square foot of floor space to prevent stress and pecking. 2. Use 1/2-inch hardware cloth — small enough to keep predators out and quails in. 3. A slide-out droppings tray makes daily cleaning fast and controls ammonia smell. 4. Keep the cage draft-free but well ventilated; stale air causes breathing problems. 5. Raise the cage off the ground to deter rats, snakes, and dampness. QUESTION FOR YOU: What is the biggest problem you face with your quail cage — cleaning, predators, or space?
