I hope so. I feel like no one else is really going to love them like I do, but hopefully their next keepers will, in their own way...
Oh my gosh. I was so sad to lose our drake, not only because he was such a dreamboat, but of course I wanted them to hatch out all the beautiful fluffy ducklings. But then it all came crashing down when he said he didn't want to replace him, either! I'm hoping when we move he will make good on setting them up with a really nice, suitable enclosure. But it's either that, or... Either way I feel like more duck babies may sadly not be in my future any time soon.
They give great hugs though, I literally scoop them up and carry them over to the run every day, best part of my morning.
