Please help me make these 2 ducklings survive

[FutureMillionaire]

My place just got flooded and I have a duck mother with 8 ducklings and only 3 ducklings survive. Then one of them died of seizure. So I only have 2 left.

Getting wet in water makes the mother doesn't recognize them anymore so I decided to put them inside a box with a lamp and an Old PC UPS (it gets warm when plugged) I tried to give them food but they don't eat.

Sorry if I wont be embedding pictures this time around. Uploading pictures seems to Jinx me. I know they won't be independent until they have feathers. Usually mothers raise my ducks and it has been working well for me but not this time.

How old are they? Did you just now bring them inside? They may need warmed up. Offer warm water with a poultry vitamin in it and once they are warm maybe some feed made into a warm soup?

I think they are 4 days old. They are doing well until the damn typhoon and flood happens. They freak out whenever they see me and I heard freaking out can make them seizure so I give them privacy. They still haven't touched their food and they make their water spill.

try making a water container similar to this. About all you can do is give them what they need and hope they respond. I can’t even post this comment let alone a picture,

trying again

They are still alive!!! This is their day 2! I hope they manage to reach 6 weeks and be independent.

They must be eating and drinking? Glad to hear they are still alive.

oats and rice because the pandemic closed down all poultry shop.

I am a bit disturbed that I am not seeing weight gain.

that’s not the best diet for them at all, so that’s probably why

I believe a little cat food mixed in would help for more protein .
