hi all
we have 3 ducks (black indies) all approx 1 year old
normally they will fight over the food and finish it soon after we have given it to them but recently they have not been to keen to their food
we are feeding them layered pellets and they usually run to whoever is feeding them and do whatever to get some
last few days they havent been bothered, when we get the food out they dont attempt to eat any, they dont come anywhere near us or the food and overnight they will only eat and drink a tiny amount to what they normally have
normally we get the food out at night time and 2 of them will jump and fly up the ramp to get the food the other duck will always wait to be lifted in the house
but now they all have gone abit shy and will want chasing around to put them away at night
they seem to be digging alot in this wet weather so im not sure if there eating enough in the day to keep them full but they just dont seem to be themselfs
i havent seen them in the paddeling pool for a few weeks now, they seem to just dip there head in for a wash or have a splash around in the puddles, again im not sure whether the weather has effected this
any tips advice most appreciated
