Sand for dust bath doing more harm than the good？

As we know substrate are important for our birds, to keep the environment clean and healthy. With wrong substrate, might cause impaction, aggression and death for the birds.

I would like to hear people sharing their experience, positive and natural with using sand or other material for dust bath.

So far I find out wood pellets are the best types of bedding for my quails. Keep the smell down, don’t need to change it frequently. When they turn into dust, the quails love dust bath with it.

I use straw bedding for my button and quail babies from they just hatched-2 weeks.

And I switch them to wood pellets. No they would not accidentally eat them and causes death. But with wood shaving. I learned the hard way, the babies would absolutely eat it and drop dead.

I have a friend, she ran into some issues with her birds. She has a sand box in the cage available for them all time. Her birds keep having weird very bad injuries out of no where, not typically injury that you see with quails picking on each others. She had 2 birds that just freaked out and try to kill themselves. With broken wing so much blood everywhere and one with permanent head injury and limp. she thought is one of them is bulling the others makes the freak out like that. and she cull the “aggressor” as well as the one that broke the wing. She found out both of the has a lot sand in their stomach not much feed. Especially the bird was acting aggressive. She has a very small group. It’s the female that are having trouble. 4 birds in a big cage that has plenty room for them

We figured out they acts out because of the impaction that cases the pain. My birds do not have any behaviour issues or health issues and it’s in way larger group. 20+. No fights at all

Just want to share this with people and gather more thoughts on using the sand for the quails.

Coturnix and button quails available
Oshawa. minimum purchase 4

Don’t compare with our nice temperament birds with the cheap birds you got from people and they ending up killing each others.

Our birds don’t fight. They are heathy and happy birds. We don’t keep or sell aggressive birds. Bad ones are meat for my animals. We don’t ever have problem putting 4-5 weeks old with my birds are over 8 weeks old. Just pop them in the cage and they never fight. Last picture screenshot was someone got 6 of our babies and came back get 3 more adult females, they introduce them no problem, so they are coming back this weekend for more females.

Also have hatching eggs available. My button quails are able to house with quails with no issues.

Adults and babies available

The second boy is AVAILABLE，Dumbo double rex agouti blue silvermane，5 months old. Dm for more info. He needs to go to new home with another boy from me. Non negotiable. He is living with male rats range from 5 weeks-8 months old. Standard size and dwarfs.

Dwarfs are not only stay cute and tiny in size，they are less likely to get tumours when they are older，due to the lack of grows hormones.
