The ULTIMATE list of DUCK Treats and Supplements...

[duckies1230]

One of my duck pools is right next to my tomato plants and they hang in the pool. Jojo nibbles on them constantly yet charlie never had interest in them. Does this mean JoJo is gonna get sick? I've been reading the posts and you all seem to feel very strongly. I just wanna know if my duck is safe

Hmm. Would you continue to tell frightened posters that just discovered their beloved ducks have nibbled on tomato leaves that they are TOXIC to birds?

If you're worried about it, find a way to block access to the plants or move their pools away from the plants.

^ This. Better safe than sorry. Expounding on Buck's comment, yeah, Jen, are you okay? You're not acting like your usual self. Everything all right on your end of things?

I felt deeply hurt and was very upset at what I took as accusation of animal cruelty. I love my ducks dearly and am very interested in their well being. I am not bothered my the hairs on tomato plants.
Now I know some people are. I'm sorry I was mean.

Tomato leaves are safe.
Interesting site that cites actual studies done on tomato plants NOT being toxic.

I think their fine too. Jojo eats them daily when outside and he's perfect! Lol, I was just curious after reading this.
