My new adopted duck!

[Beloved_Reptiles]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say a big thankyou to all of you who helped with ideas as to what foods were appropriate for my newly adopted duckling. For those of you who didn't see my post I received a duckling through a friend who had it dumped at a shop on wednesday and the shop owner was otherwise going to snap his neck. I am now the happy owner of little Henry and thought I'd share some more pics!

I know, this will be the last big adoption for quite a while! My husband used to want a duck years ago so I was lucky to talk him into taking this one on.

Haha you're funny Jess. Well done on taking on yet another transient creature. Did you end up driving to Wollongong?

No I cancelled Wollongong, got a few bills (rego) due shortly so I might wait a week or 2 before I pick the hatchy up. Used nearly a full tank just to pick Henry up! Lol

Haha yes I can see there will be lots of crapping involved! In the pic he's actually eating chicken crumble, bok choy and mealworms! He also loves brussell sprouts, lettuce (as a treat) and this morning he got some hard boiled egg mashed up. I read it's good for them to have with the shell as a grit in it for them. He's my little shadow at home!
Yes I knew it was a bit odd posting this on a rep site but you all seem to like numerous animals and he's so cute I had to share.
Funnily enough when I said I would take him in the first question asked was "he won't become snake food will he?" Lol

Soooo cute!! That was really nice of you to take him in! I used to have ducks too, they were awesome! Except the drake used to rape the chickens -_-

They're pretty cute. I have 11 ducks at the moment. I have 5 that look about the same age as yours, 2 adolescent boys and 4 adults. They make pretty good pets. Mine do a great job of weeding, but they do make a bit of a mess, especially on the concrete.

These are the first ones I hatched.
