Countdown to Ducklings! [a Journal]

Make sure your heat lamp can't accidently touch the side of your tote looking at pics it looks close

I moved it already, when I get home I'll show the updated/moved pic. It's more towards the center now but with the light facing one side.

I called FWC to talk to them. They cleared it up for me. Stated we do need a Permit, it is free. But they are more lenient on it since most breeders and stores do not tell the customers they need a permit. Also to fill out the form for wild type even if a domestic. The questionnaire asks what they eat in the wild etc..

Yeah I had no idea, almost ordered Cayuga's but the website I was ordering from recognized I was in Florida and refused to ship here. I had that happen when I tried to order Dubia Roaches for my Bearded Dragon which told me "illegal," so I looked it up.


Also does anyone have a guide for making duck diapers? I'd like to not buy any until they're fully grown, but I'd love some for them when they're a baby. I saw a video that just had some cloth wrapped around the bum of their duck, but I'd be afraid of them getting clogged up.

As you can see, Quackers still has a hurt foot :-( I am going to be treating with Niacin and Apple Cider Vinegar in the water. Any other suggestions? The vet told them it was just a bruise now, the blood blister is gone.

Here's a picture (warning, it's gross, so I'll link it): https://i.imgur.com/JYrYdEK.jpg

Some antibiotic ointment would help, Niacin for strong legs yes. Did you get the right kind of niacin non flush free and non time released?

Doesn't look too bad They are amazing how they heal
