He does not want to eat healthy! He's recovering from angel wing and refuses to eat nothing but frozen vegetables (he hates everything else but corn and peas, he spits out lettuce) and he only wants dog food, he loves it so much. We got food from the mill and he will peck at it, but he's not too interested in it. He just wants dog food. And it makes his poop smelly and icky. He wears diapers and I don't enjoy those kind of poops >:[. The vegetables have made it easier to manage and not as smelly. But like I said he eats peas, and corn. He used to eat green beans, and the one day he stopped.
I am so frustrated with my spoiled little duck.
I don't know what to do

Exactly. Just 'force' him to eat the stuff designed for him by letting that be the only food available to him. I feed my ducks their normal pellets (out for them all the time) and sometimes I'll mix in cracked corn/scratch grains or give them a handful of dog food to increase the protein they get. BUT, since it's designed for -dogs- it isn't good to give it to your duck as his/her sole feed. It's good that he likes vegetables though.

Try floating grass and other veggies in water! Ducks go CRAZY if it's in their water!

Best bet would be to lay off the dog food and treats entirely until he decides that duck food is for ducks and is eating it regularly.
