Do they?


Question Posted Friday January 25 2008, 5:32 pm

Do not answer if you don't know.

Can ducks eat peanut butter and be fine? Is it bad or good for them? I have a billion peanut butter crackers and I want to feed them to the ducks.

NO, ducks are waterbirds and they will get very ill if fed peanut butter, or any other food with high fat content. Instead, you can feed them peas, corn, meal worms, and greens.

I would say just to make some kind of desert with the crackers, like a cheesecake. Don't give them to animals, they're not made to eat this type of human-developed stuff.

Oh, and by the way, I have volunteered for 350+ hours at a wild bird hospital.

It's not good to feed wild birds but I do it too anyway. Birds can choke on peanut butter. You can mix the peanut butter in with fat as to reduce that risk. (There are products for feeding birds sold at stores - if they contain peanut butter it's also because there is also fat in there as well or something really oily). However, it's better that crackers/bread be plain. You can eat a packet of peanut butter crackers a day or sell them to kids somehow and make profits while you're at it too!

Most animals can eat peanut butter. Just as long as they have some water near by.
