Aweh haha have you tried throwing a bunch of thawed out peas before you go.inside? It might be a good distraction.. at least while they last

Yeah I've tried that. They peas last all of 30 seconds at best! I have to throw them in their kiddie pool to get them in there too. Once they're gone they get out usually. I'm convinced I have a pair of very odd ducks!

Today was a lot better outside. So we are making progress! At first they wanted nothing to do with the puppy pen but I put their breakfast (peas, diced cucumber, and a little lettuce) in there and finally convinced them to go in. They were out there while I was cleaning their indoor pen so I was in and out the whole time. A lot less crying the yesterday!

I have a duckling that imprinted on me. Dusty would go everywhere with me, to work, on car rides, and shopping. Dusty outgrew his indoor enclosure and had to be moved out to the "duck den" and he outgrew my purse. It took him and me some time to get use to not being together 24/7. Now he as realized how much fun it is with the other ducklings in the duck den. They will get use to it just be patient.

Good to know! I love that they want to be with you but at the same time I want them to be happy ducks. They are going through a skittish phase right now and just about EVERYTHING but me scares them! Being patient is pretty easy because the last thing I would do is rehome them. They are my first ducklings and my heart has grown at least three sizes since the second I brought them home!

Yay!!!

Every day is getting easy for both them and me! Today they played in the mud for about two hours in their outside pen. Mud is wonderful! They were adorable little muddy duckies with it splattered all over their faces.
