when they were little. i had them in a cardboard box with a lot of shavings on the floor. then once they were about your guys size i used wee-wee pads for underneath the water dish. it worked out great!. then after that once they started getting bigger i just used the wee-wee pads outside the pen and fed them like 5 times a day!. i know it sucks that the duck cant have water all day but it really worked out great!!! then after that i made the thing in the picture. i use a whelping pen for dogs to have puppies in. one the far side in the picture you can see it already had an opening and then i just used the largest size tub there was and i cut a hole in it too match up with the pen and put the water in a deep dish and filled it a little more than half way and he couldnt spill it or anything. and i put the food on the right side too. so it kept it seperate. so here is the pic: if you have any questions let me know!!!!!!! :-D
