[Image description: two ducklings nibble my toes while their siblings look on to see if I'm scary or not]

The toe nibbling is a nightly affair with their mother, Shadé, but tonight marked the first time the kids have joined in. I find that this life stage is the easiest to get them comfortable with hands, and even managed to give some chest scritches and back pets while some were nibbling on my fingers.

They are so adorable! And kudos to you for not getting ticklish as they muddle your toes 😍
