Hello Everyone.
I seem to have a situation here and need some advice from my fellow Mallard Duck owners.I have had my mallards for about 5 years now and all three seem to be doing great. My issue is that the feed that i have put out for them each day has attracted some not so pleasant rodents/moles or some sort of small critter that has reeked havoc in my pond. This "rodent" has dug holes along side of my pond, under the rocks and through the mulch to get to the area where the ducks pellets/grain is at. I have over a 2000 gallon man made pond and the water looks like chocolate milk. If i don't do something soon, I can see this rodent putting holes in my liner.
My question is this: how much and how many times do you feed your mallards? I was thinking about taking all their feed out of the area because right now their feeder bowl is constantly filled and maybe bringing food to the ducks maybe 2x a day??
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Joann
