Haha, that’s a great point! I guess they do need their version of a spa day for health.
In addition to everything mentioned, keep an eye on their social interaction. Ducks are social creatures and well-being can greatly depend on their mental health too!
For raising 2-month-old ducks, make sure they have a dry shelter to sleep in, away from harsh weather. A simple wooden coop with proper ventilation works great.

Absolutely! Also, consider using straw or wood shavings for bedding. It keeps them warm and dry.

What about climate control? I heard they can get chilly at night. How should I regulate temperature in their shelter?

Great question! A heat lamp can help keep the temperature stable during colder nights, but be careful not to overheat them!
Ducks need around 4 square feet of space per duck in their coop. This prevents overcrowding and keeps them happy!
Totally agree! Plus, set up an area for them to swim and dabble. It’s key for their happiness!

Is there a specific temperature range I should aim for? I want to make sure they’re comfortable at all times.
Around 70-75°F is ideal. Make gradual adjustments as they grow; they can handle lower temps as they get older.
Do ducks really care about aesthetics? I mean, do I need to decorate their space or just focus on functionality?

Honestly, functions over flair! But a few fun things, like ramps or pools, can keep them entertained!
