Quails are foraging birds that live in shrub/bush lands in the wild. Their diet consists of insects, grains, seeds and sometimes berries. Your quail should be kept on a game-bird feed. If your quail refuses to eat the pellets try finding a smaller mix or crushing down the pellets - they might find it too big and therefore difficult to eat. Mealworms should be fed in small amounts and only as treats as they have a high fat content. Greens and vegetables are great treats for quail. Look closely, your quail is probably nibbling on the food but they might be too scared to eat in front of you (meaning they see you as a threat). If your quail is still refusing to eat take it to your local vet.
