Question:

Can i use vermiculite for a bedding box for my quail?

Its jst a small hiding box i originally made for my leopard geckos awhile back. I was curious if i could use vermiculite as its bedding since i dont own wood shavings or anything. If i cant use vermiculite what else can i use?By the way its a male chinese painted quail

Answer:

To find the amount of water you'll need just divide the amount of vermiculite by 6, and multiply by 4. This is because, with a ratio of 6:4, the water weight should be 4/6 the vermiculite weight. so 25.1*(4/6) = 16.733 g water
