Picked up 3 indian runner ducks yesterday. I think they're a few days old? Been researching them for a while.

Feed store i got them from had them on nipple waterer, nothing for them to dunk their heads. Should i be watching them for anything because of this? Last night one had water bubbles from its mouth, im guessing its was a bit excited to have water? Seems fine now.

When do they start playing more and sleeping less?

Tips and tweeks on set up would be great (sorry, uploading pictures on this site haven't been working for me)
Their in a large wire dog crate with cardboard around the bottom and on puppy pads. I have extra rubber shelf liner grips i can add if that's too slippery? Feed is a small dish. water is a chip dip container with two holes in the top.

Do they play with anything to relieve boredom, besides water, as they get older?

Hardest thing so far is "no kids, their too little right now"

Thanks!
