Hi all,
I dont know whats happening... Bubby (my duck) has just been ignoring me or keeping away from me lately and i have no idea why. Usually when i call him or slap my legs he would come to me but now he just ignores me. when i try to pat him he runs away but if i grab him and pat him etc he relaxes. he doesnt get excited about treats any more and he is acting very hostile. he has been angrier than usual towards my family with biting etc which isnt like him.
Some things i have noticed recently are:
- We have started enclosing him at night times because he was attacked by a fox
- There is a little black kitten around our neighbourhood
The enclosure is quite big and he has his water (i feed him before i put him away to avoid rodents) and i make sure he is in and out every day.
The kitten isn't a problem because we used to have a big cat next door and Bubby attacked it pretty badly so a smaller cat shouldnt be a problem.
When i put him in the enclosure he will start sulking in the corner but as soon as i go inside and look through the kitchen window he is playing in the little bath.
Please help!
Thanks~
