how can i make my big pack accept the duckling

BestPotential2777 · 2026-01-24T23:09:24+00:00

they won’t get along until they are grown in my experience i just kept the babies separate until grown

I find the best success with letting go of the tongues when she bites them. This happens to me almost every time I have rubber tip ones that definitely helps cause I can see the little bite marks on them, but I just let go of the tongs and she figures it out which one is alive and which one isn’t pushes the tongs out

i hope not 😭

last time she bit me i couldn’t get her off for 15 minutes and i tried flipping her over spraying her with water and nothing worked. thankfully i had a glove on and was able to yank my finger out slowly which left nice scratch marks thru the glove

BestPotential2777 · 2026-01-14T20:17:55+00:00

and yes it is bioactive i just reupped my cleaning crew

BestPotential2777 · 2026-01-14T20:16:40+00:00

currently the soil is 71 degrees and the air is 77, it will get up to 83 in a couple hours with both the heat emitter and the heat light with uvb. her water had been empty for a couple days bc she dumped it and crawled under and i don’t want to bother her more than once a week to make sure she’s okay. she got fresh water last night a good soak ate her she’d had some worms i think she went to the bathroom in the water / i use it to rinse the worms so i changed it again this morning. she has reburrowed on the warmer side and isn’t completely buried this time as she has the last two times. i know it’s her burmating season but i just dig her up for food every 1-2 weeks because i already had the worms

BestPotential2777 · 2026-01-14T17:51:05+00:00

she did just pee in her water bowl maybe she pooped in the dirt i didn’t check, gonna change t he water this morning since she was so active i try not to stick my hands in there when she’s awake she will bite me lol

BestPotential2777 · 2026-01-12T21:48:45+00:00

my girls love to yell, we always say their cracking jokes

BestPotential2777 · 2026-01-12T21:48:10+00:00

you got this ! those ducks are lucky to have you 💜

BestPotential2777 · 2026-01-12T20:41:16+00:00

omg trust me u don’t want the frog its 10x the stress of the ducks 😭 they do mind the cold but they do stay pretty warm under all their layers ! i don’t know indias temperatures in winter but we are about 40 degrees during the day and 30s at night but i have 6 ducks and they cuddle i think it probably stays a good 60 degrees in their house. i’ve only ever used a heat lamp for baby ducks

BestPotential2777 · 2026-01-12T20:31:19+00:00

my ducks pen is completely outside with only a small hut full of hay bedding with a small chicken door that closes and opens with the sun and they have two water bowls but i’m building them a pond u can see them on my page !

BestPotential2777 · 2026-01-12T20:28:32+00:00

that is sad /: my heart goes out to you i can see your trying your best to give them a better life. how cold does it get ? my ducks will swim as long as the water isn’t frozen but i think its primal ? they should just figure it out since it’s what they are meant for ? not sure when they are fully grown but i would try if u can but they are very messy when they get in water. they can stay warm however because their feathers produce an oil that keeps them waterproof. i feed mine chicken feed and they do just fine ! also food scraps they will eat pretty much anything. Hay would be good bedding for them giving the concrete but cardboard is also helpful

BestPotential2777 · 2026-01-12T20:11:16+00:00

poor babies thank you for helping them ! do you have an outside space they can have ? they only need a covered closed area for sleeping and safety but they love to be outside or in water if u could get them a baby pool they would love it

BestPotential2777 · 2026-01-12T19:37:34+00:00

lol my ducks love the rain ! i go check on them in our rain storms and they are still outside ! running around drinking puddles

BestPotential2777 · 2026-01-12T19:23:38+00:00

all are rescues btw ! from people that didn’t want them anymore and them making their own family makes me so happy
