What are some things I could use as toys for my ducks?

Question

I want something for my ducks to play with. Like some duck toys or something. Do you think bird toys from like Petco or something would be okay? I use duck diapers for them and they walk around my house, and then I have a pool for them to swim outside in and a huge open area for them. They're pretty spoiled, but I was wondering what I could use to entertain them with when I'm not there to play with them. Thanks!

Answer 1

ducks don't really play with those kind of toys, however they might like one of those ball toys that when they roll it treats fall out.

Answer 2

They actually make duck toys, but I must tell you, even the most spoiled ducks don't tend to play with toys alot.

Anyway, check out this link. This woman is THE expert on waterfowl. She knows what they like and what they play with.

You don't have to buy from there, but you can very easily make toys that are similar. Just be sure that if you do use rubber bands or something similar, there is no way they can swallow the whole thing while you are gone. Little pieces might not hurt them like she says, but the whole thing might be a bad idea.
