Hi all! I work at a vet hospital for cats and dogs and we had a woman come in with an orphaned baby duck. I have had experience raising ducks but this was 8 years ago. I already called wildlife rehab but they said they couldn't take it in and gave me some resources for taking care of it on my own.
That being said, I'm nervous because my coworker is sort of freaking me out. She told me that baby ducks will die if they are by themselves but I had a loner that did fine. My question is if this is true and how do i go about finding him a friend? I'm also unsure as to what breed, gender, or even age this baby is. It seems pretty young.
My last question is that I've heard the little guy sneezing a couple of times. Not excessively - not sure if he is sick but he's rather energetic and is a huuuuuge cuddler. Not sure if this is normal either - my ducks used to bite and nibble me. I'll upload a picture and get a weight on the baby during my lunch break but I wanted to start with all of this first - thank you in advance!
