Rhubarb and Clementines

[Emmeline]

Can ducklings (4-5weeks) eat rhubarb and clementines??
Also what can you grow in their pen that they can eat?

I'd stay away from rhubarb. The leaves contain high concentrations of oxalic acid, which is bad. A little won't hurt, but I wouldn't take a chance. The stems are safer, and obviously edible if cooked (and delicious). Cooked rhubarb might be ok. Wouldn't give them a lot, for sure.

Never tried to feed ducks citrus, myself. Can't think of a reason it wouldn't be safe, if they actually will eat it.
