Hello, I was wondering if any of you have some tips. I ordered a few muscovy ducklings from a man that lives around a 8-9h drive away.
I've driven this distance with very young ducklings before, and it went okay but honestly I was mostly stressing through the entire drive...
What I did last time was I made a diy brooder plate using a reptile heating pad and had their food and water in small containers so if anything spilled, it wouldn't be TOO bad.
The heating pad then plugs into the car charger via USB.
Do any of you have a better way to do this?
Maybe a better heat source that you've used in a car?
And any advice on minimising the smell?
(For anyone asking why I would order ducklings from so far away, Muscovy ducks are extremely uncommon in my country, and there's pretty much just one farmer I know of who has 2 breeding pairs.)
