    The ULTIMATE list of DUCK Treats and Supplements...

    the main difference between this list for ducks and goslings/geese, is tat geese may not like as many of the live animal treats like goldfish. I hear they like worms, but they are mostly vegetarians and don't eat fish. Someone can correct me on this for pet geese. I'm still learning about...

    we try. hopefully I'll have some ifo soon to update it. We've experimented with making "cakes" with "frosting" for ducky birthdays, made them muffins, ect that I'm sure everyone would love recipes for. We also make a "DE soup". I hope to have time soon to add those to the list of fun treats!

    As for the spinach, If you type in "Spinach hinder calcium birds" you will get a ton of websites telling about the problems birds can have with spinach. Birds have a hard time absorbing calcium, hence why we have to give our ducks oyster shells. They can not absorb enough from just their food...
