What does your duck eat?

[Justy0]

So I am just trying to get some more ideas of things to give ducklings as treats (Ducks too). With my first set of ducklings I found they liked salmon, dried plums, oats, and small or cut up worms. I tried some other fruits and they normally either didn't like them or got bored quickly.

What did and didn't work for you?!

i use to give mine canned tuna from time to time and as far as worms go give them whole red worms and also crickets they love to chase them down and eat them

So you've never had any problems with them choking on long or fat worms? I never have but I am just a little paranoid and want to make sure that its safe...

Other than some Romaine and peas for my ducklings most of my ducks find their own stuff.. they free range so i just provide staple feeds and water, what do they eat? gosh only knows, i do know the odd frog has been on the list.
