Cat food has too much salt!

They are Game Birds, just feed them GAME BIRD FEED.

It's not rocket science if cat food was meant for game birds you would most likely find it already in your feed.

Label from a Game Bird Starter-Grower feed that should answer your questions, it shows the fat, protein, and salt content (min & max). You could check out the various companies that sell game bird feed and compare their labels. The percentages they show are for raising and growing healthy birds. I don't know if this is a "Good" feed or not, It's only an example I found online. Try searching for the websites for the better feeds that people have listed in this thread and compare their labels. You could also try comparing them to the cat food labels and see how they differ. The information for this is all online just google the feed names. This is the type of thing I meant by investigating, checking out the actual feeds that companies sell for the types of animals you are looking at feeding. Their formulations are scientifically created for the correct nutritional needs so you can see how much salt, fat, etc the birds need to grow and be healthy. Another place to get information is University websites that study quail, their nutritional needs, their natural environment, and that type of thing. Mississippi State University is one that has information regarding this on their website.

If I raise my Polar Bear on 1/2" hardware cloth can I keep quail underneath it to clean up the scraps that drop through or will the quail peck at the Polar Bear's feet too much?

If I can't feed my quail cat food then can I feed my cat quail food? I just want to buy one kind of pet food so I can get it in bulk.

Can I incubate quail eggs in an old microwave if I hook it to a wafer thermostat? The microwave already has an automatic turner built right in.

Well played, my good man. Welcome to the dark side. Quail husbandry can raise much controversy, often times with battle lines drawn, as Bill has hinted about above, most eloquently. I, myself, will surely catch some flack for my latest quail project endeavor, in which I'm witholding any source of calcium from the diet of my "Boneless Cambodian White-meat British Range Rovers".

A. THAT'D BE FINE. HE'LL HAVE THE CLEANEST FEET AROUND
B. TRY PLATYPUS PELLETS, I GET A GREAT DEAL ON THEM IN 5 TON QUANTITIES ONCE THEY HAVE REACHED THEIR EXPIRATION DATE...
C. WHY PAY TOO MUCH FOR A WAFER THERMO? JUST USE 1 CANIBALIZED FROM A 30 YR OLD WATER HEATER... THEY'RE USUALLY ACCURATE TO +/- 15 DEGRESS OR SO...
