Duckling question

I don't like to use them because they get wet and very messy very, very quickly. I use puppy pee pads.

 

i have always used pine shavings after they were a few days old....i never had any problems...but..that dosent mean anything either....i'd be interested to hear what others think..

 

I was told you're not suppose to use them with any small animal when they're confined to that area because they'll constantly have to breath it in and it'll cause respiratory problems.

 

I use puppy pee-pee pads and compressed pine pellets. THe pine pellets work great under the watering area. I think I got the idea to use those from Wifezilla. THe puppy pee pads are great for keeping their bed area clean.

 

You telling me!! I finally had it and put mine out yesterday and they are about 4 wks old. They were in a big deep water trough and they managed to get water over that on to the floor. Sheesh. They are out because I got little turkeys now. Seems like I get a batch outside something else goes in the broody and I can't stop that addiction! I do have a heat lamp on the duckies and plenty of room for them to move from it.
