The Duck Thread

[PrayingMantis]

Thanks Hennibal. For the lonely duckling I take each of my ducklings when they are only days old and play lullaby music on a cd. Sometimes just the silence tends to make them scream. I've had to separate a duckling away from the others and this really helped.

You can use a night light so the duck can still see the mirror and it will just look like a moonlit night.

You mean one that burns with a wick? i don't think I'd let something like that burn unattended.

It needs to be a nightlight. Candles are too risky. Nightlight that looks like a candle is ok.

A couple of other thoughts: It sometimes works with puppies to put a radio on the the room and they don't feel alone. Also, it might be possible to get a recording of ducks off the net and then let it play on a loop, with appropriate pauses. Might convince the duck it's not alone.

Not a candle unattended is dangerous out a night light on or just a reg light they don't need dark to sleep

Nope as long as it puts out a soft low light. pet stores carry mirrors for parrots maybe look there.

You could get a small mirror at 99 cent store
