Could a Jap Quail Have done this ? Graphic

[JEWEL]

I would think a Jap quail could and would do that if they were starved for protein as i have seen them at dealers with blood all over them.It only takes one bird to bleed some where and the rest start continuely pecking at it,especially around the base of the tail Craig

So are quail live feeders too ?? Hang on, just answered my own stupid question ! When i move the logs they are straight in there for a feed on any bugs - should i throw in extra meal worms for good measure ? Not that i mind them killing the mice, But !!!

I'm with Tintola - I've seen rats consume mice like that before - just the brains often - nice high fat meal when feeding baby rats high fat milk.

Im starting to worry about you jewel all these gory photos

I would defiantly think a quail would do that.But I would be surprised if a quail would catch a healthy mouse,I know I have problems catching them.It may have been sick or baited.Hopefully not baited for the quails sake.

mmm maybe the Quail takes after the owner
