Jackpot and Lotto are Muscovy ducks on the money as unusual pets
Jackpot and Lotto are Muscovy ducks on the money as unusual pets.
They came to us after their owner passed away and there was no one to care for them.
They are also very curious and intelligent and need enough space to move around freely.
Access to water facilities is essential for their water-related behaviour.
Ducks kept in a clean environment and well fed are usually very robust animals.
They rarely suffer from intestinal worms or mites (especially if they swim regularly) but usually need to be wormed every six months with a poultry wormer.
Jackpot and Lotto can be fed a good quality layer or breeder food suitable for adult ducks.
Ensure the food and water bowls are close to each other.
Avoid feeding bread, popcorn, chocolate, onion, garlic, avocado or citrus fruit Although bread is commonly given to ducks, excessive amounts are not good for them.
They are housed at the RSPCA shelter at 10 Karungi Crescent.
