Please help! 2-day-old Mallard Duckling

[Roa]

For now just watch her an see if it’s from wearing the hobble. By the way that looks awesome the hobble you made.

Ok, thank you so much for the advice and thank you! My dad had to help me XD

So... i hope i'm just being too worried again but i feel like she's moving less than she did yesterday? Even with the band aid hobble yesterday, she at least tried to get around. But now she keeps sleeping and won't move around much. I get that ducklings sleep a lot; except this time i can't tell if it's because she's young or because her legs/feet are bothering her. Here's a pic of her foot, if it helps. It does concern me that her right foot looks like that

Ok i just noticed that she moves around if she wants to, just less compared to yesterday. But the way she moves around is weird. Yesterday she'd at least try to stand up and somewhat could, but right now she kinda just scoots her way? And if she does somewhat stand up she tumbles, which i think could be from her right foot (or both, i have no idea).

Good luck with her!
FYI their wings ARE that small, lol, I call them little t-rexes until they get their feathers, they look so silly

Have you been giving her the Vitamin E and B?

Yes, i've been giving it to her. I was really worried about her feet so i did the tape thing.
