Hi again, as some of you may not know, we took in button quail from a bad situation. They seemed to be doing well, females laying eggs, etc.
Yesturday, 1 female started falling forward and now she falls sideways. She can not stand at all.
Eating
Drinking
Pooping - photos below
other female with her is completely fine.
normal Enclosure 4 x 2 x 2 with a soft screen top (supposed to help prevent them from hurting themselves when they shoot up in the air)
wood shavings
Bird crumble from a quail farm
Finch seed
Dried Meal worms
Dried black soldier fly larva
Dried Flowers
Fresh Greens
Grit with calcium
water changed daily and up off of the ground
2 hides for each bird
UV lights as well as natural light
kept between 65-75 degrees
What am I missing?
I am making sure she is eating and drinking everytime she wakes up. She has been sleeping pretty much since yesterdays only waking up to flail out of her little bed to poop, which is when I am feeding her and giving water.
I have her isolated in a little cage on a heating pad sitting right on my desk so I can see her.
It is covered with a towel as to give her coverage to feel safe
Did she hit her head?
What can I do for her?
