[net.pets] Feeding Wild Animals

eli (04/05/83)

     Does anyone know what one should feed Squirrels and Ducks?

     I've been feeding the Squirrels on campus shelled, unsalted peanuts
(need to watch their blood pressure!)... but these are roasted, and I wonder
if they need raw nuts.

     I used to feed the ducks bread, but someone told me that this is bad
for them, and instead one should feed them corn.  Is this true?  Cooked or
raw?  Any other suggestions?

     Responses to me via mail, I will sumarize to the net.  The animals on
campus will thank you.
