This is mostly my own fault for spoiling them to this point but I don’t know what to do now. I’ve had ducks for 2 years now and they love mealworms. The problem is that for far too long their primary food was just mealworms and now one of my ducks will not eat pellets. The reason this is an...

I’m really unsure of what to do right now. Since about noon my duck has been very lethargic, quite and not really doing much apart from laying around. She’s not normally this docile and usually when I approach her she will run away. My other ducks have been very lively, it’s just her that looks...

I have two female pekin ducks that are kept as pets. I will be going to university this year in September and unfortunately there will be no one else at home to take care of them. Does anyone know how I can rehome them somewhere where they will be safe? I would really want to continue to visit...

Unfortunately no she didn’t. She passed away peacefully with her best friend 💔 😔

This was very helpful for me to read, thank you 💓very appreciated during this difficult time.

Thank you for your words of support. It means more to me than you know 💓

After being unwell yesterday Puddles was found this morning stiff in her house. Waddles is confused and keeps walking back to her house to get Puddles but she isn’t here anymore. I’m heartbroken, I don’t have it in me to go out and check. I’ve contacted the farm where I bought them from almost...

Here are some more pictures, it’s hard to get a clear photo but she has appeared to poop a very small amount of a white gooey substanc. Is laxido safe for her? And if so, what dosage should I give?

She hasn’t pooped at all, is it safe to give her laxido or firbrogel? (both are for humans) I just checked and she is definitely not pooping.

Sorry this is the best photo I could get, she’s not even fully opening her eyes. I have felt her for egg binding but couldn’t feel anything and the vet did too. She’s panting every once in a while, not limping not bobbing her head or wagging her tail. Completely out of character. She has not...

She last layed 2 nights ago, her breath isn’t abnormal and she isn’t pooping for me to send a picture :/

Is there a electrolyte solution recipe you could recommend? All shops are currently closed because of the bank holiday. She’s a mix of silver appleyard and Campbell. She hasn’t been in any trauma and my other duck is completely fine.

She has a temperature so I’m worried about how warm I should be keeping her. She normally has pellets, veg and mealworms with grit but now she’s not eating so I’m trying to get her to just eat her favourites (peas and mealworms) She’s a little over a year old and has one duck companion.

My ducks has suddenly become very unwell overnight. I woke her up this morning and she has been lethargic, not eating, hardly drinking and throwing up. She’s keeping her eyes closed but doesn’t look to be sleeping. I’ve tried giving her all her favourite foods but nothing is working. I went to...

I don’t think she wants treats, they already get plenty of mealworms and a vast amount of mix veg and regular layers pellets. I’ll try to get a video in the morning, I’m regards to her maybe being broody; is there a reason she will only quack like that when I’m around or when she sees someone? I...
