I am sorry Ping and Pong died. However, I dont think getting more ducks to be killed (which will probably happen) is the answer for your sadness.... not unless you can protect them better than the first ones. Yes, Ducks are very cute but speaking for myself I would not get any more until and unless I was sure I could keep them safe.

Keeping pets safe is the least of what we should do. For instance, I have three pet goats and believe me, they are safe. I know there are dogs, foxes, and coyotes that would love to hurt them so I prepared before I got them. I hired fence people to put in a 6 foot high fence (not barbed wire where animals can get under) but wired fencing 2"x4" and heavy round posts and in 13 yrs nothing has gotten in or out.

I have a pond where ducks could swim (yet I know ducks do not stay in pond ALL the time) and I also know that there are dogs, foxes, and coyotes that would love to eat ducks... and I cannot protect against that so I do not have ducks although I would like to have some. Again, I'm sorry your ducks died but more than likely any future ducks will disappear also if you have the same conditions as the first ones. Kay in NC
