aylesbury ducklings

[duckling98]

can anyone tell me anything about aylesbury ducklings
we rescued one who is weak abnormally small, we were told not to overfeed him (socks) but he seems desperate for more food. we are feeding him special duck worms and he has constant access to food in his cage, we also get him out for cuddles which he seems to love.
We have bought him a special heat lamp light that is warmer than without it, but not too hot.
Can anyone give me any information on how to try to keep him alive?/ make him more comfortable apart from sawdust in his cage? any answers or tips would be gratefully recieved. thanks

Awwwwwww, you wonderful person for trying to help this duckling. I'm probably wasting your time by posting this as I'm not a vet and won't give you any sound advice, although I would have thought feeding little and often???? Your best person to answer this for you is Lankeela, s/he knows an awful lot about this type of thing. Hope s/he comes on here and helps you out.
Are you planning to keep the ducky if s/he survives?
Will you let us know how you get on? I wish you every success!
