Feeding 5-6 week old sebbies

[NJchixs]

Hi everyone. I have two sebbies one about six weeks the other five. They are thriving and I'm enjoying them immensely. They are out all day eating grass (10-11 hrs) and have their little pool. Inside their house is where I keep the food (purina duck grower pellets). It's been almost a week and they have barely made a dent in the pellets. Is that ok?

I'm not sure your goslings can eat those pellets very good, I would grind some up for them to make sure they are getting enough to eat. However, since you are free ranging them they could be getting all they need from foraging around. Do they look underweight at all? It sounds like they are doing fine.

They look great. I will grind up the pellets and see how they do. I just thought they would naturally eat the pellets but maybe the size is the problem.

I'd do that, and just keep offering them, but it sounds like they are getting all they need from grazing during the day. Keep up the good work!
