Ducks refuse to eat pellet food

[Jenjens]

I switched to pellet food because I was losing too much feed from the crumbles for my chickens. I noticed that they haven't eaten any of it in 2 days. T hey are 3 months. Do ducks dislike pellets?

try mazuri waterfowl maintenance!! my ducks LOVE it, there's no mess, and it doesn't get soggy in water. it's a bit more expensive but 100% worth it

They're probably just not used to it. Why don't you try getting it a little wet and see if they'll take it? You can ease back on how much water you add over the next few feeds and pretty soon they'll just be eating the pellets just fine.. My ducks only eat pellets and love them.

Ducks don't like change. If they don't go for the water way you could try mixing the old and new feeds together. I go back and forth with mine between pellets and crumbles. They are use to it and will eat what is given. Mine may have a slight preference for the crumbles, but so do all my birds as it is a higher quality feed than the pellets I get
