Single Duckling

[Alaskanfoul]

I have a single duckling (a few days old), who has completely attached herself to me. I have no problem taking her places with me, but was wondering if that’s safe/how to do that safely. Also, how should I deal with her at night? She doesn’t like being in the temprature controlled, duckproof box that she’s supposed to call home, but I don’t want to sleep with her for fear of squishing her. I’ve had many ducklings, but never a single one. Any tips/answers are welcome.

Provide it a mirror and a Teddy..Try and locate another Duckling so it's not alone.

I strongly second this advice.

Can you find another duckling so she has company? I had a single duckling but he did fine sleeping by himself with a stuffed animal and a mirror for when I couldn't be with him.

They do get very attached to us but it isn't ever a good idea to sleep with them because like you said way to easy to lay on them. A friend would be the best solution Look at craigs list or go to your states thread. At "where am I where are you"
