Fully grown Gambel's quails subsist upon a diet that is 90 percent vegetarian. Insects remain in their diet as a supplement, especially during nesting season when their caloric needs are greater.
By 10 weeks of age, quail that are being kept for their eggs or breeding require a breeders feed which contains 18-20% protein. Some specialist quail feeds contain seeds as well as pellets. Adult quail eat around 15g of food per day. Green foods should be provided so collect grass and other leafy greens for them.
