Do you give your ducks mealworms as a treat?

[LoreenH]

If you do, do you give fresh or dried?

Thanks

I give them fresh... they go NUTS!

Mine love crickets. They are awfully good at catching them, too, even at one day old. Very fun to watch!

They love that motion. If all you can get are dried try floating them on the surface of the water so they move a bit like live ones do.

Me too - fresh and wriggling. Sometimes I feed them red earthworms too (we harvest a few from our worm composting bin) - I throw them in the grass and watch the duckies hunt them! It's great fun!

I given fresh and freeze dried. They love both. I've read that freeze dried have a higher protein content. I mostly use freeze dried just for the convenience. They eat them out of my hand and expect them every time they see me.
