so they keep there babies together and away from predators
To keep them away from predators. Littleuni: Thats right, the mother squirrel could have decided that area was too dangerous so she moved away to keep her babies safe. Either that, or there was not enough food in that area to keep the family alive.
She walked them away so she had no babies to return with
Yes, mother ducks may leave their ducklings temporarily to search for food. They will typically lead their brood to a safe area, such as a pond or marsh, before flying off to find food. The ducklings will stay close together and huddle for warmth and protection while the mother is away.
You should only separate them after the babies are completely weaned.
Mother bunnies typically only stay away from their babies for a short period of time, usually less than 5-10 minutes, to avoid drawing attention to the nest and attracting predators. They return several times a day to nurse and care for their young.
Ducks defend themselves by using their strong bills to bite or peck at predators, as well as by flapping their wings or swimming away quickly. Some ducks also have the ability to make loud quacking sounds or to fly away to escape danger.
You can very carefully herd the ducks with the mother to the pond. You will have to walk them.
If the babies are still fluffy and cheeping it's better not to take the babies away from the mother or otherwise, The mother will be stressed and looking for them all day long, Which wouldn't be fair on her. You can give the chickens away when you identified them if they're a rooster or hen.
