At what age to feed live fish?

[MarlyMonster]

Hi lovely people!

My Muscovy babies are 3 weeks tomorrow and getting big fast! We had our first bath tub swim yesterday as opposed to their shallow kiddy pool and they LOVED diving down to the bottom! I’d love to get them some small feeder fish but just afraid they’re too young for those still. At what age did my fellow duck people start feeding live fishies to their babies?

Thank you!

Feeder fish are great protein and exercise for growth! Can't wait to see that video! I would leave one of my duck eating feeder fish but an almost full grown duck murdering a tub of fish by ripping all their heads off and then eating the dead bodies, is just not as cute!

Bought 30 fishies, all gone in under 2 minutes

They’re fast! Now I feel bad I don’t have more...

Don't feel bad, they don't need more! It will make their poop smellllllly! I usually give 10-12 a time for my one duck so they probably all got a great amount!
I know... my duck is evil on the inside
