Button quail questions

[Nabiki]

But I don't know if button quails eat something different than the common. Maybe nabiki knows.

Button quail and Coturnix quail do fine on the same diet.

Hi my friend, nice to find a patriot here!
I don't know if you read the thread but I'm looking for a good quail food to feed button quails.
The guy's here told me that you are a coturnix breeder. Because I can't find a good food for this birds in our country can you help me by telling me what mixture you use for your own birds? Ι live in Agrinio by the way.

I I add that every now and then

Thank you nabiki. It seems Greece is not very quail friendly yet . We have problems finding things for them.

If you have cat food (kibble)? It can be crushed up and added to boost the protein....most dry cat food here in the States, runs around 30% protein.

Hi. If I put kibble will they peck like they do with cuttlebone or they will ignore it ? It must be crushed?

Has anybody tried to give live bait to quails? Would it be ok ? What is your opinion.

Basically same gamebird feed but buttonquail can also eat some caged bird feed too (mainly as treats)

Yes, you will need to grind it up.

You have me worried with protein! Today eggs where on the menu. I also have a complaint. You can find all birds and farm animals as emojis except quails
