Vacation with ducks

[Isabelle Johnson]

I am leaving on vacation and was wondering what are the most important things I should tell my duck sitter. This is the first time I am leaving my ducks alone for this long. We will be gone 5 days. My guess is the duck sitter will only come once a day.
What important things should I show and tell my duck sitter? Advice? Should I be scared and nervous to leave my ducks?

Its normal feeling weird leaving for the first time just write a list of what u do for the ducks and what u think they need will make u feel better have a great holiday xx

Ask your duck sitter if they would be willing to send you a short little video each day of your babies.

Are they experienced with ducks or is this their first time? When it comes to other people caring for your animals no instruction can seem too simple or stupid.

Tell them to change the water out, make sure it's deep enough

Make sure their enclosure is secure and do a quick check for issues (predator tampering)

Take a glance around the enclosure and make sure nothing is amiss - there's nothing in there that shouldnt be that they could eat or hurt themselves on

Check for obvious injuries/issues like someone not walking or not eating or whatever.
