Duckies Favorite Treats?!

[DuckDuckPromise]

Hi there!!! I hope everyone is having a blessed day! I want to give our duckies some treats, and I’m not sure what to start with. I gave them some banana, and they really didn’t care for it! Any other ideas and suggestions?! I’m all ears!

my ducks favorite fruits/vegetables - tomato, cucumber, romaine lettuce (never iceberg), blueberries, grapes, strawberries, and peas

but if you want dried bugs treats i recommend https://happyhentreats.com/ (you can use our brand ambassador code FATTYFRIENDS for 20% off your purchase )

Thank you for the helpful hint, Lord’s Willing, I will certainly look into that!!!

it has no nutrition and just makes them feel full so they won’t be hungry/won’t eat their healthy food

Ohhh, that makes sense!! Thank you so much!! I shall see what they like the most on the menu!! They are kind of skittish... any tips or ideas on how to get them to warm up to us? We got them about 3/4 days old, and loved on their fluffy butts every day/night, but they still don’t really love us back!

i’ve heard from people with skittish ducks that the best way to tame them is to find out what their favorite treat is and only hand feed it, that way they associate that people means good things and not to be scared

My ducks love cherry tomatoes, but they have to be fresh from the garden. Their next favorite treat is meal worms.

Dried mealworms, frozen peas and mushed up grapes are big hits here.

Anytime I'm digging in the garden, I'll save some worms and all the grubs I can find. Those ducks if mine go bonkers for the wiggly slimy stuff.

I have one muscovy that loves water melon, the other ducks not so much; they all like defrosted frozen peas; most like cherry tomatoes. My ducks will take off my arm if I am slow to give out mealworms once the ducks have seen/heard/smelt the mealworms! I am going to buy some live mealworms next time I see them at the pet store and see if they like them. So far, I have just given them dried mealworms.
