Ducks eat horn worms?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

We have tomato plants. Tomato plants sometimes get horn worms aka tomato worms. Can ducks eat them? My bearded dragon cannot- but then again my bearded dragon cannot eat tomatoes or any food from the night shade family. I have read that ducks eat tomatoes...so can they also eat the worms (caterpillars) that eat the tomato plants?

 

I have read yes and no. People let ducks de-bug their garden and this is a common garden bug. I am just curious. Thank you!

My chickens love them.  Ducks love them.  Ducks love slugs, japanese beetles, peas, etc.................Anything natural is good for them, just don't feed them bread!
