Your temps are TOO HIGH!!! Lower the cage temp to mid 70s. It's o.k for him to have a hot spot of about 85 or 90, but the cage temp should be mid 70s. And if you can give him a nice dark hide box, with some moist sphagnum moss, in the low 70s, that would be great.

Put him in a quiet, secluded area of the house, where nothing will bother him.

Make sure he has a nice big water bowl.

Get all that done first, and let him settle for a couple days. Then try him with a week old quail chick.
