Ducks: Im going to feed it the duck food from a Southern States. do they need anything else. I think someone said they need salt in the summer time but the food already has it in there. Also, what shouldnt i give the duck to eat as a snack. Can i give him veggies or other leftovers. In his cage will be a pond so i know he will like that.

Sweetie,How old is your duck?If it is young,you will need to feed him(You can get this at southern states i believe) Starter And Grower.This is usually what we start ducks and little chicks out on.As he gets older,slowly switch him over to corn.I dont know which kind of duck feed your referring to.Generally animals such as ducks are kept outside.It isnt impossible to keep one inside,but they do get a bit messy.Depending on how old your duck is,he could have some soft vegetables.They also like shelled corn (you can get that at southern states as well.)Good luck hun,and congratulations on your duck! Have a good day.

Chicken/duck food is the best, but ducks also love fruits and soft vegetables or seeded grass. But NEVER feed a pet grass from a yard that has been treated or from a yard in an area where neighbors have sprayed their lawns. Chemicals can drift from neighbors and kill your pet. If your yard hasn't been sprayed, but is still treated with pesticides, remember that many of these are systemic and stay in the plant long after the chemical seems to be gone.
Do you know that ducklings cannot have a pond or water bowl that they can fit in in their cage until they are feathered?
Do you also know that ducks smell awful as they mature. Since they love to splash, their cages need cleaned every day if you are keeping them in the house.

Can he be free? I had a duck and she roamed the backyard freely, everyone had snails in their yard but me.
Just duck food and no salt I would think, also water. She had access to the front but never left the backyard. She had a kiddie pool, never went in the water . They are a great pet, whats his name? When she wanted something she would peck on the back glass slider. You can try the veggies but if he doesn't eat them don't bother, I am sure the food is enough. Have fun, let him free if possible....

I would stick with the duck food. You can also give it cracked corn and bread. Do not give it leftovers or vegetables.

I don't know as far as new hampshire, but in most states as long as they are obtained from a breeder it's o.k.. It is illegal in alot of states to catch and keep migratory birds,, but if you get the from a reputable breeder I don't think it's illegal
