What kind of bedding is he on? Make sure it's no to slick or slippery (aka not news paper or anything like that, since it's to hard for them to get good footing)

it's normal - he'll get his land legs in another day or so - sometimes it takes ducks a little longer to get their feet under them.

As long as he's scooting and trying, he's doing great.
