Hamster ball for duckling?

[harmonymw]

I feel like it’s one of those animals where the answer is no because of their toenails. You know like how you shouldn’t put a guinea pig in one because their little nails can get stuck in the slits and ripped off? So that’s my “no” reasoning.

May I suggest duck-wearing as an alternative? Wear her in a little sling like a baby human.

EEK! I love that idea! Do they make harness things to do that with? Where could I get one?

Not a good idea. Hamster ball is not meant for a duckling. Probably would scare the thing to death.. not to mention no traction for the little webs.

Idk if they make something especially for the purpose, but I’d just get a cheap human baby sling. The quality isn’t important because you won’t be putting much weight in it. My children have used doll baby carriers to wear their guinea pigs. It’s pretty adorable.

Turns out amazon has quite a selection of pet slings...

Let me break it down for you!

Hamster ball+duckling = bad idea

Carrying your ducky around = better idea.

Still confused on why you would want to carry a duck around? Is the duck going to sit on its tail? Isnt a duck supposed to be like... outdoors foraging through grass, eating worms, laying egg, quacking, running around, flapping their wings? I guess im the only one with ducks that that do duck stuff.... But to each their own!!

I want to carry around my duck because I love animals. And, my duck is very lonely because I only have one duckling, and we keep her inside so preators won't get her, so it'd be nice if she could be with me more often so she won't be lonely. And, I'm a crazy duck lady haha
