Hey everyone! So I'm keeping my 2 one-month-old Pekin ducklings inside. I'm keeping the little pair in a pet playpen (see the attached photo). I have several questions/concerns that I'm hoping a few of you will be able to help with... first, is this setup OK? These are my first pet ducks so I'm unsure about, well, everything. Second, HOW do I keep this clean? I considered using shavings or hay, but read that they tend to mold very quickly. I'm currently using a tarp laid over the bottom and keeping them a fleece blanket to lie on.. but it gets SO messy in just a little while. Is there any better options, or is this my fate? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
PS. In the picture you can see their food (feed and grits). I have no idea how much grit to give them, or if I should even be feeding them this right now. I was afraid that the amount shown was too much so I ended up taking most of it out. Thanks!
