As the title really - I've got 2 mallard ducklings (caught but uninjured by a cat) - they will be being released when they're ready (had them 2 weeks now).
They're on a chick crumb as their main feed with treats like frozen peas, herbs, a few calci worms, porridge oats every few days.
Is something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DT7C6WW/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A2FGB3SRAWZEAP&psc=1 safe for them? I was toying with the bloodworm/daphnia you can buy frozen and putting it in their water, but this multi pack also have algae wafers and fish flakes. Is that safe for ducklings to have? I'm thinking the flakes would be good in their water tray as enrichment as well as feed (they love peas in their water) because I'm keen for them to remain "wild" and look for their own food, not get too used to me etc.
They're not able to be let outside (have dogs and cats) so I'm trying to give them natural things inside so they can still keep their foraging skills.
