cause of the sprain - 10:56 AM
(filed under 'animal')
i didn't mention the cause of nansel's (the quail previously known as grennel) sprain. i think smiley might have done it unintentionally.
he likes to play with the quails & even though he's usually very good about being gentle with them, i think he might have accidentally done it when he was holding one quail & trying to catch the other. he might have either caught him a bit roughly, or maybe squeezed him a bit hard & squashed his foot while he was trying to catch the other one.
we've had a talk about how he has to be extra, extra careful now. he let one of the quails under the fridge again on the very day his week-long ban was lifted (from letting them go under the fridge!), so his ban was reinstated, this time for two weeks. so it's good timing for nansel to have a rest.

a lesson and a rest well deserved...on both sides.
