Show off your house ducks!

Wobbs: "Oh jeez! I can't take a load off without her pointing out just how fat I am! Here she comes again..."
Bean: "Then bite her or lose weight, Tubby. Stop complaining..."
Wobbs: "OH NOES! GAH! SHE'S DOING IT AGAIN! HALP!"

I did!!!

LOL. That is sooo cute. It looks like when she misses one, she just lets it fall and disregards it, then waits for you to give her another one.

Heyyyy! I'll have you know, Wobbles LOVES getting attention from me. Most of the time. I mean, he's okay with it. At least, he tolerates me. ....He won't bite when I shove my face in his feathers and motorboat his fatty floof.

OK important question. Jojo has his duck diaper, I finally got it on him but when he stands in one place for awhile the floor is wet, I checked his diaper and no poo yet its all wet too. Now its clear liquid and sometimes its there when he pops too. Is this normal? I dont think hes sick, he sure as hell dont act ill, no smell, all normal. Is it pee, do ducks pee, hes been eating alot of veggies lately, maybe just too watery? I dont know. Im paranoid i freak out. Please someone help me. I got babies, im nervous. I wont lose another duck but whats going on?

Sounds like he's just taking in more liquid. My ducks let go of some water when they eat a bunch of salad, or if their food bowl runs out and they of course keep drinking. Make sure he's getting grit. Sometimes there is some sand in bagged feed, sometimes they need a little grit on the side from time to time so they can "chew" better.

I think you'll be ok. Sometimes all I get in the diaper is clearish liquid too, it just means that their poop chute is empty and they're passing water. It's not a cause for alarm unless you don't get any solid poops for a prolonged period of time. But as a pampered house duck I'm sure Jojo is getting lots of pellets, salads and other noms, so I think you're ok!

It's so cute to see you get all worked up over your first house duck. <3 You remind me of myself when I first got Wobbles; I didn't have a clue about ducks whatsoever! I was such a dum-dum that I thought him cleaning out his nares was a sign of a serious upper respiratory infection (he has a habit of doing it outside of his water cup so it just looks like violent sneezing).

Has he calmed down a bit on the diaper? If it's leaking, that's not a good sign. It means that it's not fitting him properly. Can you take a photo of him wearing it and post it for us to see?

The for answering, I was told you personally could help. I will get a pic sometime today. He calms down after he has it on. I was thinking I padded it wrong bc I put a piece of my toddlers swimmer diapers in it which let's water go through it, ahh I'll learn, its brand new to me and JoJo. What kind of setup do u have for when he sleeps and doesn't have his diaper on? I have him in the kitchen now bc that's the only tile floor in my house but that's not going over to well with my husband, I need something different asap!!!

Sounds like he's just taking in more liquid.  My ducks let go of some water when they eat a bunch of salad, or if their food bowl runs out and they of course keep drinking.  Make sure he's getting grit.  Sometimes there is some sand in bagged feed, sometimes they need a little grit on the side from time to time so they can "chew" better.

Oh my, after I ran out of grit, I never got anymore, hes been out for a few weeks. Thx for reminding me, im a horrible mama!
