Hi once again thanks for the wonderful advice. The ducklings are growing by leaps and bounds. I put them in the bath but they didnt swim, just looked at me like I was nuts. Should I fill it up so they can not touch the bottom? Also since they are 3 weeks old now do they still need the heat lamp? And one final question, I am still keeping them in a box in my living room lined with newspaper with papertowels on top. As you can imagine it gets quite messy and I find myself changing their papers 3-4 times a day. Does anyone have a better suggestion for living quarters for them till they are old enough to go outside? Right now they are content in their box and that is good I am sure if they wanted to get out they could. I am considering trying to find some place that will take them and introduce them to the wild when they are old enough any suggestions? Thanks, Cathy
