How old do ducks need to be to eat fish?

[SwedishDude99]

My ducks are going to be 5 weeks old tomorrow. I was wondering if that is old enought to begin to have Zoe feeder fish for treats? Please let me know ASAP! I have been really anticipating feeding them some, and I would really like to give them some tomorrow!!!! Thanks!

Hi! I apologize it took a while to respond to your post.

Anyway, the Ultimate List of Duck Treats

indicates six weeks and older for fish treats. It's up to you if you want to jump the gun a week or wait. They grow so fast at this age, it may be best to wait. I understand the anticipation! Glad you want to give your duckling some enrichment!

Ok thank you! I think I'll wait then. I've been giving them peas and its been fun giving them those, so i will just keep on with that till next week.
