I’m worried about my ducks. I have had them for two months now and I just lost two out of nowhere today.
Yesterday one looked like she did not want to dry off after her bath so I took her out and dried her out. She fell asleep shortly after for a little nap and was doing fine this morning and afternoon. The rest all looked normal yesterday.
I have been keeping watch over them diligently as they are quite small and still young. I have been told they are miniature call ducks and are just bigger than my hand and are about 10 weeks old.
I have kept them in my spare bathtub and change out their water between two to four times a day, so it’s always fresh and warm for their bath/swim. They get a bath/swim every morning before they eat and every evening the same. They have an area that has water and a step up to get out of the water that is dry and under a heat lamp.
They all looked fine this afternoon and by this evening I have no idea what happened. They haven’t been able to swallow anything harmful and have everything to my knowledge that they need unless I am missing something.
I recently did get another drake that is nearby the last two weeks but he isn’t with them as he is about three to four times their size.
Any suggestions of what might be happening? I have also noticed that they sometimes walk on their own feet and stumble just a tad but it’s not very often. Not sure if that is a symptom or not.
Thanks in advance.
