Best housing for quails?

[Katy-may]

I currently have my babies all snuggled up in the greenhouse, they have a duck house in there but as quails do... We don't want to sleep in there! So have a huge straw bed which they sleep under. I'm thinking of buying them housing for spring/summer to go outside. Any ideas on what to put them in? Will they travel up a ramp to go to bed? (no?) What does everyone else do? X

Hi, they will easily learn to use a ramp, so a 2 tiered rabbit hutch is good, with an attached run if you have the space. Quails do jump if they are frightened (as you probably know) so i would line the top with some foam or bubble wrap, especially wired areas so they dont hurt themselves.

Thank you! I do have plenty of space so will get them a decent run, then I can add more! Only have 2 girls & boy the moment. X
