Chickabee Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 My new Japanese quails love sitting and rolling around in fine chick grit. Trouble is this could work out quite expensive. Can anyone recommend an alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I've been giving ours crushed egg shells recently. What container do you have the grit in at the moment? Could you put it in a coop cup so they can't dust bathe in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yes I can. Do yours have a dust bath too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yeah they have a small cat litter tray with chinchilla dust in - I would use Diatom but can't find any here in Slovakia! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 They dived straight in. I give them a little poultry spice as I can't get quail pellets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
