Instructions

    • 1

      Line cardboard box or dog cage with newspaper or a rubber mat. Ducks have delicate feet and should walk on flat surfaces, not cage wires.

    • 2

      Place deep dish in box and fill half-full with cold water. Ducklings need water; they may drink it or get into it for a mid-travel swim.

    • 3

      Tie or tape a plastic bag around posterior of each duckling if desired. Ducklings will poop on the journey, so be prepared to clean up frequently. To avoid a larger mess, try limiting the amount of food the ducklings consume up to eight hours before the journey.

      Check on the ducklings frequently during the journey to ensure all is clean and safe.
