Things aren't going so well about getting Sunny another duck/chicken friend. Turns out, she'll have to settle for me now. I'm not going into details.
Anyways, I generated a few more questions while taking Sunny to the park.
1: Sunny get's soaking wet whenever she takes a bath, I suspect she's not using her oil gland to her advantage? I worry about her getting cold. She never did care too much for water from the start. Is this something to worry about?
2: Pet ducks aren't THAT rare are they? Everyone at the park was so amazed, a lady even wanted me to send a letter to Ellen degeneres about being on her show with Sunny, LOL!
3: Does she really get lonely? She loves to hang out with me, not to mention the daily walks. She walks back into her dog carrier when shes done. I leave her with the door open, she doesn't go back out unless she's hungry/thirsty or when I'm there. It's a small carrier, but I clean it 3-4 times a day. She sleeps in it after I play with her for an hour or two. Until I come back out.
4: Is there a way to "play" with a duck? The way you would with a dog? Or is she content just walking around and getting petted by me?
5: I feed her chicken layer, along with chicken scratch mixed in. The scratch is mostly to fatten her up, I weighed her and she only weighed 5-6 pounds. A little low for a duck her age, at least I've heard?
6: I'm going out of town for 1.5 weeks. I'm really worried about it, Sunny will be staying with some friends of my mom. How should I introduce Sunny to them?
Thanks for all the help lately guys. I need some answers now though, I'm leaving Tuesday!
