Winnie's babies!!

They can sure be protective like a mama bear.

Oh she is!! she lets me hold them but watches my every move.

You are very lucky! Mine were all viper-ducks.

 

[BirbMama92]

Now I'm down to three I don't know what I did wrong.

 

[Miss Lydia]

@BirbMama92 what has happened?

@BirbMama92 what has happened?

Two disappeared, I found one in the water, I found another one in the fenced area, so I brought the last 4 inside since Winnie wasn't watching them very well and I found another one on the floor (idk how) because it was inside a stock tank on a table.
So now I have three

 

[Canadian Wind]

I'm so sorry!

 

[Miss Lydia]

I'm so sorry, you made the best decision to bring them in and keep them safe. So sorry for your losses. Do you have anything to cover the top of your tank? I use old window screens. It's amazing how high they can jump.

 

[BirbMama92]

No, I didn't think they could jump that high, but I will get something over it ASAP.
Another thing that could have caused the loss of my babes, is we've had crazy weather. It was 96* one day, and the next was 68*.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Possible if mama wasn't getting them under her. That's a huge temp fluctuation.
How are they doing since you brought them inside?
