Frozen Quail and Chicks

Frozen Quail and Chicks, Delivered to Your Door

Here at the Northampton Reptile Centre, we work with trusted suppliers to bring you high quality frozen quail and chicks that meet the standards your animals deserve. Whether you're feeding snakes, lizards, turtles, tortoises, birds of prey, amphibians or other pets that thrive on a whole prey diet, frozen quail and chicks are a highly nutritious option packed with protein, vitamins and minerals.

Chicks are particularly popular as a feeder prey item due to their small size and nutritional profile, making them suitable for a wide variety of reptiles and other animals. Frozen quail offer a slightly larger option for bigger species or those that need a bird-based prey item as part of a varied diet. Offering variety in your animals' food is good for their health and can help prevent feeding issues down the line.

Our frozen quail and chicks are humanely sourced and flash frozen shortly after to lock in their nutritional value. Each order is packed into individually sealed packs, placed in an insulated box with dry ice to ensure everything stays frozen in transit, and dispatched with a next day delivery courier. Every order arrives in good condition, ready to store straight in your freezer until needed.

We back every frozen food delivery with a full guarantee. Buy in bulk to keep a solid stock on hand and ensure your animals always have access to the right prey when they need it.
