shes eating now. eating game bird crumble. at first she didnt eat it. i mixed a little water into. made it mushy. she loves it that way. i also put a mirror on the outside of the cage. so she could see herself.
she will be getting her friends next wednesday. i put her and the cage in the living room. where we are most of the time.

When I got my 3 mallards they said put water in there for 5 mins. then take it out for 5 mins. Because she/he might get internaly waterloged and might die. But she/he seems find to dont worry that watch. Plus mine where mallards water ducks to that might be they put that on there.

yeah, i called already, they are replacing one and adding 2 others, i just had to pay 6.50 for the extra. so hopefully if i have 3 shipped, i shouldnt have any problems.
they are getting shipped monday, so i should get them in a week.

So glad that they are accomodating you so nicely, but still sad that you lost one

I named one of my WH girls Ducky too!
Harley, Quinn and Ducky. the rest are still nameless. Well, my son named one Quack but I am not sure which one that is because it seems to change every time he sees them lol!

cute!!! orginally my 2 kids named them jackie and leaky....but well so they wouldnt fight over which one died. thats where i stepped in and named her ducky.
when the new ones arrive, we can name them jackie and leaky.

i still havent done anything with the other duck, shes still in the box, i was waiting for the rain to stop, then i was going to bury her. still heartbroken she passed, and i didnt even know her.

im surprised they didnt pack an extra one. their website says they often do. i would think they would be more likely to send an extra one with small orders to make sure there is enough body heat
