Feeding Quail to Reptiles

Quail is an excellent feeder option, providing unique benefits that make it an excellent alternative — or addition — to your reptile’s diet.

Leaner Protein Source

Quail offers a high-protein, lower-fat option compared to rodents, helping prevent obesity in captive reptiles.

Whole-Prey Nutrition

With bone, organ, and muscle, quail delivers a natural balance of calcium, phosphorus, and essential vitamins.

Improved Digestibility

Many reptiles find quail easier to digest than rodents, reducing strain on their system.

Dietary Variety

Offering quail adds enrichment and variety, closely mimicking the diverse diets reptiles would encounter in the wild.

Reduced Risk of Parasites

Commercially raised quail are generally cleaner and pose a lower parasite risk than wild-caught rodents.

From hatchlings to adult reptiles, quail can be an important part of a complete and varied feeding plan.
By incorporating quail into your reptile’s feeding routine, you can support healthy growth, better digestion, and overall well-being — while providing a natural, species-appropriate diet.

Frozen Quail

Each of our quail is individually weighed and packaged to help choose the perfect size for each reptile. Please use this comparison to help decide the appropriate size. 
Hint! You may want to go down a size as a quail’s size is more in width than in length.

Quail Balls

Do you have an itty-bitty baby snake? A snake that is so small you must cut things to feed it.  Try our unique feeding option-QUAIL BALLS.  We take a whole adult quail (including feathers, bones, internal organs) grind it up with the addition of a quail egg or two (to increase calcium), put it into molds and freeze.  With some culinary magic these balls maintain shape even when thawed and when your snake eats them.
The goal is to help you get your snake up to weight, eating easier and cheaper.  We want to supply you with a healthy, convenient and cost-effective way to get hatchlings up to  size quicker.
