If you've got a ball python that's eating rats without problems then I wouldn't offer it quail.They are one of the worst species there is for dietary issues.If it aint broke, don't fix it. And to anyone who does keep snakes here and is considering the use of quail as a supplementary feeder I...

If youre not confident that people are going to want them pre-packed, then I don't think it's worth the effort.People pay next to nothing for chicks as food, and at a convention, they'd be expecting to save even more money, so overall I think they'll work out better for you as a future meal.Just...

Not sure yet.I share a house with three girls, and they've taken a liking to the nice colours of the Chinese Painted Quail.I'm more interested in a good bird for meat so I'm not sure what to do.Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
