scothunter 12,609 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 well they demolished the meal worms greedy little fuckers arent they lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moll. 1,769 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 You don't give them a load at once Put a few on your hand now and then and you will get the quail a fair bit less skittish with you. And to save money why don't you breed your own meal worms, it is quite easy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 oh i just bought a fiver tub and took the lid of it and put it in the run lol ive left a light on in the shed,but the wee buggers like to sleep outside.still no eggs yet lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moll. 1,769 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Can you usher them in and shut the door? It will help with egg production if they are in light for longer, put the light on a timer so it comes on early in the morning and goes off just before dark. Then you can let them out when you get up in the morning and usher them back in before dark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
