Norman Update:
Norman has taken over the house, he is the Alpha with all the cats, hangs out with a shitzu and has not shown any depression or loneliness. We are planning on getting him a companion within weeks.
Thank you all for all the information and kind gestures...
We are new to raising ducks, we lost our female last night after days struggling with a Niacin deficiency. He mate / best friend is alone. I 'm not sure what to do exactly. I have heard that after a loss of a mate, the ducks may not accept another mate. Any ideas would be appreciated.
