How do i get this duck in the water?

[MrsTush]

I adopted this adorable couple (Jovi and Yara Muscovy ) this weekend. I adore them already!
Until their pond gets dug this week I got them a little pool. They won't go near it. They love the pan of water but outside of looking over the edge of the pool they aren't interested.

I even stole my husband's car ramps in case they needed help getting up there.
Any suggestions or should I just back off and quit being controlling?

To my utter shame, I know exactly who you’re referring to. Guilty pleasures.....
Sooo cute ... but I know nothing about ducks.

i’ve heard muscovy don’t like water as much as other ducks

That stinks
I was hoping since they like playing in the water pan that they would.

Have you tried tossing some lettuce or greens in the pool? Most ducks love to fish food out of water.

I think they will definitely jump in it eventually, just let them figure it out. Scovies don't like water quite as much as mallard derived breeds but they still love water and will want to take a bath.

Good! After their ride home they need one
I guess I'll back off and let them figure it out.
