I work at a feed store and we got ducklings in yesterday. One of them is much smaller so the others were picking on it (not sure male or female). I brought it home. It drinks but I have to put it near the water. Any tips on getting it to eat? I feel like that would help it perk up a lot. It finally opened it's eyes yesterday afternoon so I feel like it's getting a bit better.

Also use your fingers at the food and water..Peep and Quack to the Duckling...It stimulates them and they like that sound....

Quack, quack....Peep, Peep....lol


Cheers!

I never would have thought of that! I'll do that. And I did bring home another small one so I didn't have to worry about "Spike" getting picked on by one of the bigger ducklings. All of the rest of the ducklings were totally fine

Yeah, my coworkers and I go above and beyond for the chicks and ducklings we get in. I'll keep you posted and let you know how Spike is doing later.
