What are you offering her? What did she eat before?Thank you! I still need to know why she isn't eating.
Ducks can get depressed. What kind of waterer and feeder are you using?
Trying to get a mental picture for some ideas.

I have offered her some lettuce (not Iceberg), boiled egg, some plain ole mashed potatoes, Purina Flock Starter, and freeze dried apples.What are you offering her? What did she eat before?

Okay, first please review at least the first post hereI just got a White Pekin duckling, and I am very worried about him/her.I do not know the gender of my duck, and I have also noticed that it isn't eating very much. I am a little desperate, because I don't want it to starve. Can someone help? Another question I have is: Do White Pekins do well without another duck friend?
Hello and welcome
Hello OlivetheDuck. I hope you will decide to get your little duckling a friend. I originally had only one elderly rescue goose. She seemed to do just fine hanging around close to the house with our house pets. She seems to have been hand raised by a human, since she loves getting pets and love from people, and she has lots of visitors because she is so sweet and pretty. But after I took in a Pekin duckling that needed a home, Francie Goose and Gabby Duck have become best friends. Gabby is so much younger, she is lots more active, but she stays pretty close to Francie. Sometimes, if Francie loses track of her, she honks, and Gabby goes running back to her. It's really a sweet relationship. I'm thinking of getting one or two more ducks, cuz I think Gabby would be devastated if she were the only bird out there. Let us know what you decide and best wishes with your little one! In the meantime, definitely get her/him a mirror and a cozy stuffed toy without buttons or anything that can be pulled off and swallowed. I forgot to see if you said how old your little duckling is. Ducks aren't vegetarians like geese. They love mealworms (which you can buy), grubs, and all kinds of little critters they find in the dirt or sand. You might want to try some. Cantaloupe is a favorite of my birds. If your little one is small, you can chop it up real fine, If it's warm enough where you are, you can try taking her outside for a little bit to give her a change of scenery. If you're keeping her inside, it would probably be best to keep her crate in the same room you are in and spend as much time as possible with her. Let us know how she's doing!I just got a White Pekin duckling, and I am very worried about him/her.I do not know the gender of my duck, and I have also noticed that it isn't eating very much.
