I take in many ducks in the course of a year and so many of them are but a day old when they come to me. They are not all success stories because some of they have been abused or simply neglected and are beyond help. Many though are only in need of food, water and lots of TLC. As you will see in some of these photos, ducks make very good indoor pets and can be raised with cats and dogs. Ducks or any small animals however, should never be left with dogs, cats or children unsupervised.
