Bathing is an important part of pet ownership, no matter what species your animals are. Even ducks need baths sometimes! Well, maybe they don’t need a bath, but watching them play in a tub full of water is still super adorable!
In a recent TikTok video that was shared by @cheese.and.quacke7, we were treated to a candid view of their pet ducks floating in a water tub, with an extra-special treat added for their enjoyment!

I am sure you’re wondering, “What’s the special treat in the water bucket?” Well, it’s peas! Apparently, the NY homesteaders found out early on in their duck-raising journey that the waterfowl absolutely love peas—among many other things as well! So, when they bring out the clear plastic swim bucket, a bag of peas comes with it!
After the bucket was filled and the frozen green pebbles were added, the first duck was plopped in! Once she gained her sea legs she was pleasantly surprised by the floating treat and gobbled up as many green peas as possible before her turn was over.
It’s the third duck who caught our attention, though. As the black and white duck was tossed into the water bucket, they looked utterly offended! If they could say words, they probably would have said something like, “How rude!” Their attitude changed, though, once the peas were discovered—then it was bliss!

Once the video was over, we of course ran to the comment section! Truthfully, it did not disappoint!
Here are a few of the highlights from @cheese.and.quacke7’s fans:
“It’s a little funny how they just get plopped in like “Here, go have fun,” like a mom tossing a kid into a ball pit! LOL”
“Honestly, it seems so fun! Yeet me into a tub of water & snacks anytime!”
“It sounds like the other ducks are completely aware they have not yet been selected!”
“I don’t love ducks, but I don’t hate them either… however, I’m OBSESSED with ducks when peas are involved… I can’t explain it!”
After five ducks took the plunge, it was time for the remainder of the feathered friends to have a treat, too! Their duck dad emptied the water bucket and peas out for all to enjoy—and they sure did gobble them up quickly!
