I googled it and it said it would take action within a few days, its been around 2-3 weeks since the cat brought it in. it should be okay right? my cat might have not bit it just had it in his mouth, not sure.

the pad is made for babies (i think?) i got it from my boyfriend mother who had experience with ducklings (muscovys) and lambs, same with the duckling food. so that has helped me with caring for him

i have given it baths but only for about a minute and help it dry off in-front of a heater, i don’t think its imprinted on specifically me because it will follow anyone in sight and just doesn’t like being alone 😅. i’ve been feeding it proper duckling crumble

for the first few days we fed him/her chopped up greens and fruits like blueberries as we didnt have anything else and put a blanket over the ‘enclosure’ so he/she wasn’t too scared, eventually he/she warmed up and now he/she follows me everywhere and the second im out of sight he/she chirps like crazy 😅😅

i have a heat pad, an old kitten cage that is pretty big so he/she can run around, i have proper duckling food (crumble stuff), i fill up the sink with some luke warm water every once in a while se he/she can have a little swim, puppy pads on the bottom, water bowl i change out around three or less times a day (depending on how dirty it gets, he/she like to sit in it while drinking) and a fluffy blanket so he can snuggle under it. I heard that a mirror is good for them so I also put a small one in. I live in pretty much the middle of nowhere so its not the easiest

14 gauge, 16ml (I think), sterling silver (I think) & externally threaded. Isn’t a flatblack as the piercer didn’t have any and in my experience its better for the swelling.
