That is incorrect...most animals will accept babies back if it has not been too long...the scent of a human is nothing, they smell humans everyday.


You can try giving little one lettuce or spinach leas cut into 1/4" pieces...if it is only a day or so old it will not be hungry anyway. Just put his food there dry and sprinkle the dandelions or lettuce on top of it...he will get the idea when he gets hungry.

Congrats on the duckie.

Thanks! He is still not eating but I will try that!

What does it look like? I found a wood duck several years back and took it to some people who had a goose who had just had goslings and she adopted it. They people said it grew up, and then took off with the wild ducks in their pond. I live in Valdez, Alaska and we see quite a few wood ducks around town with their ducklings. Good luck with the little guy! Do you know anyone here in Alaska that has runner duck eggs for hatching? My new incubator is in the mail and I want to try it out?

I grind up my duck food in a coffee grinder and it makes it easier for the little guys to eat. : )
