Hello! Not sure if this is alright to post here but I’m a huge fan of reptiles too! I was going to get a Bearded Dragon, they are so cool, but something pulled me to a Leo last minute!
Thank you so much! You’re definitely easing a lot of my concerns! I’ll take out the carrots and everything but the spinach. I hope their algae wafers get here soon, though! I’ll find my filters, I had a bunch for spare! They seem healthy, I guess. I looked at their shells for cracks and they...
They are small! The largest one is nearly two centimeters, I don’t know how old or anything about them really. They’re different colors and sizes. Someone said to change the water monthly, but it’s already getting murky so I’d assume more like weekly but I don’t really know. The filter we had...
Okay! I fed them but none of them went to the food or has eaten as far as I can tell. No air..? I left a few inches of air and the lid has air holes, is that enough? Everyone told me not to use a filter so I haven’t put one in but I do have one if I need to use it! The tank water is around 75...
Hi! Does anyone have advice on Mystery Snails? I was surprised with them for my birthday, I now have 10! They’re adorable but they were left outside for three days because it hadn’t showed they were delivered. I didn’t know I was getting them either. Now I have them and I am utterly confused. I...
I’m not sure about the breed but you can tell their gender when they’re older by their quack or their tail feathers! A female quacks, while a male has a more raspy croak. Male ducks also get a drake feather which curls at the end! Professionals can tell a ducks gender when they’re babies but I...
Drake jail, haha! I’ll try it! I’d try anything at this point. We have a pen already separate that we use when one gets sick. Sorta like a duck hospital, I could convert it to a jail! I hope after this season they’re nicer to her! :fl
I’ve only ever had a few ducks want to be held/touched while the rest only tolerate it. My advice is patience. My family force-held the ducks and now the ducks still won’t get around them. Me? They sit by me, crawl over my foot, and will sometimes actively search for me as if I was missing...
Thanks for replying! :) I have five ducks. Two males to three females. Not great numbers but we’ve never had a problem until now. :( She has places to escape, thankfully! She is the only one that flies so she has ledges up top only she can get to. I just wish there was a way to stop the males...
Hi! I have two males, Herc and Des (Pekin and Cayuga) who are very kind. I thought. They are super nice to Pato and Sera the other females. However, Sasha is a Cayuga/Pekin mix and extremely small. She is the smallest duck. She has bald spots under her wings due to the males. I watch them grab...
My 1 year old Pekin male has bumblefoot. Please give me some way to help him! I saw you can bath him in warm water, use Epsom Salt, and then peel the scab? Is that the best way/only way? I want to heal him quickly! He only has it on the bottom of his pad, it’s just a giant black spot that’s...
I love seeing ducks not want in water. I grew thinking all ducks love water! Our female has black bumps on her beak, and wheezes but I’m pretty sure that’s normal while laying! She swims fine! She even done a dance today in front of the males!
Thank you! My family is already wanting to sell them. I really want to keep them all! I can’t wait till they can be a family, especially since Hercules keeps hurting Des. I am prepared to wait, and it seems like treats keeps Herc distracted! :rolleyes:
They range from nights 70’s, and mid day 90’s! It’s miserable! They have a huge pool, and we recently installed a drainage system! The ducklings hate the pool, but splash in their water bowl. Mom loves the pool, though! She’ll stare at the males and taunt them because they have the small pool...
