Spraddle legged duck

[Miss Lydia]

They can sure be funny, give em time they will love the pool once they finally take the plunge. [so to speak] Hey where is the pool located if out in the open maybe that makes them afraid too being in the open makes them vulnerable to flying preds. They know this stuff by instinct.

Ok y'all this is our little Oswald and you can see his little legs

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yes they need some extra special help. Here is a great article for you to read.

Thanks and Sorry he looks so ganky... We tried the pool... He didn't like it lol. And it is out in the open, I'll move it and put some meal worms in see if that makes a difference

 

[Miss Lydia]

If they have already had a taste for meal worms then try that, first tossing some at the pool then on their ramp going in then in the pool mine would do a song and dance for meal worms. lol Aww I didn't think Oswald didn't look ganky at all he is precious.

Well I had to set beside the pool and take the ramps out but once I did they were willing to play in the water for about 15 whole minutes and yes thats oswald showing everyone he has a very tasty worm lol

How cute. See they will learn and won't be long till you won't be able to get them out. lol

At least you didn't have to actually get in the pool with them. lol
