Hi guys!!!
Super excited to be a member.
This site has given me a lot of tips.
So here's the thing.
I'm living in the Ivory Coast, West Africa.
Got 3 little orphaned white faced whistling ducks when they were probably a day or two.
They're about 2 months old now and have been feeding them grained corn and termites.
My question:
Is termites safe to feed?

 

[All Henned Up]

they love all bugs, mine love to chase and eat crickets and gold fish.
Welcome and enjoy BYC!

Termites are a wonderful source of protein. Just make what you are feeding haven't been sprayed or exposed to insecticide.

Thanks Steve
They enjoy it very much..so much that when they see me they see termites

Thanks..this really helps cause I was scared it's harmful on a daily basis.
Luckily no nests here are sprayed so we are safe
