Quails are perfect for beginners in animal husbandry: they are easy to care for, robust, can become tame, and require little space. This charming little bird can therefore be kept in the smallest garden or even in an apartment – whether as a tame pet or as livestock. The author has years of experience in the species-appropriate care of quails. With simple descriptions and basic information, she explains to newcomers how to set up the necessary quail habitats as well as the optimal conditions for raising chicks. The acquisition of quails, the right feed, possible diseases, and cost-benefit analyses – all these and many other questions about successful quail keeping are answered by Heide Hasskerl, who also discusses the use of the products that the pet provides.
