I Need Advice!

I_live_in_a_zoo Apr 20, 2007 02:42 PM

My mom and I just rescued a duckling, and can anybody give us an idea of what to feed it? Or maybe what to keep it in? ANY information would be extremely helpful!

If its a wild duck you need to turn it over to a licensed rehabilitator. Its illegal and unethical to keep birds you find in the wild. If your not sure why just scroll down to the post about the woman who did the same thing with apheasant without considering that she needed to commit to the animal for LIFE!! Ducks are messy and get very big. The cute ducklign will turn into a large pooping machine is just 3 weeks.

If this is a domestic duck and yoru dead set on keepign it I would suggest you go to the Duck Rescue Network for advice.
