Inhale and move your hips forward slightly. Continue rolling until the ball touches the middle of your back. Exhale and move your chest up towards your hips, slowly rolling back into your starting position.
Article: Gradually lower the temperature from 100F (40C) to room temperature by three degrees each day. Cold chicks will bunch on top of each other whilst hot chicks will pant. Then, give them more space as they grow. Chick starter provides more nutrients for your chick which is what they need, and when they get older they do not require this diet any more. You can purchase some turkey starter or some chicken starter and grind them up into smaller grains so that the quail chicks can eat it. Any feed that is high in protein should be alright. Clean and refill their water containers daily. Make sure that the chicks cannot drown in the water container and have easy access to it. Most breeders will put marbles in the water container to prevent the quail from drowning. You can add some of it to your compost. Quail waste is high in ammonia, so it must be changed frequently. Wash it once per week to avoid disease and illness. Special laying food is available at most feed stores. Ask if it is good for laying birds before you buy it. If you are raising quail for meat, change their food to a finisher diet instead of a laying fowl mix. The grit will help grind down the food and the oyster shells provide calcium for the quail to lay strong, healthy eggs. The females will start to lay and they will have poor egg production levels if they are exposed to other animals, noise or other disturbances.

Keep the quail in a small space once they are hatched. Keep up to 100 quail chicks in a two by three foot space for the first ten days. Give chicks a chick starter feed up until they are six to eight weeks old. Ensure that each bird has three to 4ft2 (1 m2) of space in the cage. Provide quail with clean drinking water. Change the straw beneath the cages daily. Clean the cage out if any waste starts to build. Start to adjust conditions and change the food to a laying fowl mix at five to six weeks. Provide crushed oyster shells and grit for your quail. Keep the animals undisturbed after six weeks of age. Consider adding fresh greens, seeds and small insects to your quail feed.
Article: You should keep your guinea pigs separate from one another in a different room for the first two to three weeks. You will need to have the new guinea checked out by a vet during this time to ensure they are healthy. Do not let them have physical contact until this time period is up. Placing the new guinea pig directly in the cage with a new one can cause undue stress as they must be eased into a new environment, and their presence may cause the current pig to become territorial. In addition to the emotional concerns, many guinea pig illnesses, which are easily spread at pet and department stores, can incubate for long periods. You need to make sure your new guinea shows no signs of sickness before introducing them to your old guinea. Put the guinea pigs in separate cages next to each other. Position the cages in such a way that the guinea pigs cannot see each other but can smell and hear one another. Once the two to three week quarantine period has passed, it's time to introduce the guinea pigs. However, do not place the new guinea pig in the cage right away as it's best to introduce them on neutral ground so neither guinea pig feels their territory is being threatened. Find a new territory where neither guinea pig has been before, but that is a secluded and quiet place where both guinea pigs will feel safe. On the floor of a closed-off and small room, such as a bathroom, is a good option. Put veggies, treats, and hay in the center of the area to distract the guinea pigs from fighting as they get accustomed to one another's presence. In case the guinea pigs get physically aggressive, you should have old towels on hand. You can use towels to restrain the guinea pigs while avoiding getting scratched yourself. If it goes well, and the guinea pigs have not fought for over two hours, you will be able to introduce them to the same cage. Ensure that the cage has been thoroughly cleaned, and all the toys re-arranged to make it seem like a new cage. After the guinea pigs have been introduced, there are steps you can take to smoothen the transition before placing them in the same cage. Make adjustments to the cage. Guinea pigs are territorial, so make sure your cage has enough space. As a general rule, a cage between 7.5 and 10.5 square feet is recommended for two guinea pigs. More room is preferred, and if you're housing three or more guinea pigs aim for at least 13 square feet. Rearrange and wash the cage so it will smell new and feel more like neutral territory for both guinea pigs. Gently rub hay from the old cage on the new guinea pig so he smells more like the rest of the herd.
