The one 8,477 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I think they should be okay once the frost has started and they break up and go soft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefbeefbeef 10 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 On the basis they seem to eat anything, I am hoping they might have a go. Must be occasions when a crab apple tree hanges over a pond. I will report back! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remi700 99 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 If they start to ferment you'll have drunk ducks!! Twice as easy to shoot. You'll know the ones that have eat them, they wont be able to fly!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefbeefbeef 10 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Rabbit guts, are supposed to be good too I would never have guessed that one. I know someone who tipped in loads of broken biscuits from the Tunnocks factory in Scotland. Apparently the ducks loved them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fitchet 788 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Rabbit guts, are supposed to be good too One of the keepers we ferret for allways asks us to gut the rabbits into an old feed sack he uses it for the very purpose .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3175darren 1,100 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I have been told loads of times by people with loads of experience,rabbit guts the birds love them,I do throw them in my ponds but I never have any large amounts to gauge the affects,I do still have plenty of birds so it cant be detrimental, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lloyd90 509 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I thought you tipped the potatoes around the pond edge on the ground ? Is it better dumped into the water etc ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,824 Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I would let them go mushy on the bank, then smash them up first. Dont just tip them all in. Iv had loads of old fruit from the market, let it go off then I used to stick it through an old mincer before feeding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
