we've done it - successful quail intro!

Recommended Posts

I was getting pretty anxious about intros to be honest, but had to do something today because I thought George was going to escape his solitary confinement in the rabbit ark, and therefore I needed the tortoise cage for him.

 

started off by putting 2 new girls into the eglu/run with John and Pauline; no problems at all. Then put George in with the other 2 new girls, but he has absolutely no finesse :wall: and freaked them both out with his amorous advances!

 

so George is now back in secure solitary, awaiting the arrival of some new ladies; and all 4 new girls are in with John and Pauline. John has um, 'greeted' them all in his own special way and after a bit of skittishness they are now a very happy troop of 1 boy and 5 girls. Pauline in particular seems delighted to be able to share her marital duties... :wink:

 

George, meanwhile, is pacing up and down with frustration, so I've moved him a bit further away to await his harem (and the rabbit run which will come later this week).

 

Phew, what a relief! the two colonies will now be known as Mr & Mrs Prescott and the girls; and George and Mildred and the girls :D
