Quail Hatchlings

These day-old hatchlings are locally sourced from Northwest Heritage Quail in Pullman, WA. They are humanely harvested using CO₂ gas.

Freeze-Dried vs. Raw — What's the Difference?

Freeze-drying removes moisture at low temperatures without heat, so you get all the nutrition of raw with the convenience of shelf-stable storage. Compared to a fresh raw hatchling:

  • Same nutrients, less mess — protein, fat, and the nutrient-dense unabsorbed yolk sac are fully preserved, with no refrigeration needed.
  • Lighter & crunchier — freeze-dried hatchlings weigh roughly 1–2 g each (down from ~8–10 g fresh) and have a satisfying crunch many pets love.
  • Longer shelf life — no preservatives needed; moisture removal does the work.

Benefits

Nutritionally superior to many treats thanks to the intact, unabsorbed yolk sac — making them a calorie-rich, nutrient-dense training reward. Perfect for small dogs and cats as a full treat, or as a bite-sized training morsel for larger dogs. Hatchlings come in a variety of natural colors.

Portion Guidance

Because of their rich yolk-sac nutrition, treats should make up no more than 10% of your pet's daily calorie intake. General starting points:

  • Cats & small dogs (under 10 lb) — 1 hatchling per day as a treat.
  • Medium dogs (10–40 lb) — 1–2 hatchlings per day.
  • Large dogs (40 lb+) — 2–3 hatchlings per day, broken into pieces for training repetitions.

Adjust based on your pet's overall diet, weight, and activity level. When in doubt, consult your veterinarian.

Supervision & Handling

  • Always supervise your pet while enjoying their treat.
  • For small pets or fast eaters, consider breaking the hatchling into halves or quarters before offering.
  • Wash hands before and after handling raw or freeze-dried whole-prey products.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Not intended for human consumption.

Storage

Keep in a cool, dry place. Our freeze-dried products are free of preservatives and pesticides. Although very uncommon, bugs and mold (from added moisture) are the two things to watch for. For longer storage, the freezer is a great option to keep products fresh and away from pests.

How to Consume

For intermittent and supplemental feeding only. Always supervise your pet while enjoying their treat.

Customer video review of Quail Hatchlings

It was my first time introducing whole prey to not only my Goldendoodle (brown) but also to his bestie, Thor (black poodle) and they LOVED it!! I love all the single ingredient treats provided for our pets and the ethics you all put into making/sourcing them. ☺️ Will definitely be stocking up some more!

We gave this to our chihuahua puppy for his first taste at any actual prey. Sweeney is only 2lbs, so we tear or chop off a piece for him. This set will last us a long time. He loves to play with it before chowing down.

My dog loves these. I thought at first that she might play with it a little (her first fuzzy treats she played with before eating) but she went for it first and loved it crunching it up in mere seconds. She always gets happy when I get out any treats to add to her meal and this treat is no exception

I use these lil hatchlings as part of their fiber component of their meals and they love them. I once got a bag for my friend’s cat, and she sent me a picture of her cat that had literally ripped the bag and ate half of the quails.. thought that was crazy until my dogs did it too with this last bag. Safe to say they’ll do whatever it takes to get to these quails 🙂🤣

At first my cat was hesitant, but then would eat it after he played with it, toss it around, and chase it. I’m assuming it’s just his hunting instincts. Other than that he really loves it.

Wrenley my dog absolutely loves the quail hatchlings as toppers on her meals!!! she eats it first every time!

FD Quail Hatchlings

My dog loved this and he's small but was able to easily eat these! And my cats like them although they aren't fully sure how to eat them whole i break them up and put it in their bowls and they have no problem then :)
