Other common symptoms include fever, headache, deformity of the nose, weakness, dizziness and sore throat. Complications of epistaxis include nausea and vomiting due to the swallowing of blood. More serious complications can include anemia, hypovolemic shock, airway obstruction and very rarely, death.
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.
Quails will be ready to eat whatever they find about a day after they hatch (as they will continue to live off what they extract from their egg). They need a well-protected place to nest at night on the floor. They need access to fresh water (not deep) at all times, they will eat finch seed mix, mashed egg yolk, you can cut up greens, romaine lettuce, chopped broccoli, anything fresh they can get their beaks into and/or tear up with their feet.
