This is a very recent picture.. they are 4 weeks.. what sock size fits them @mothertomoose and please guide me on how to make them.. thanks for all the support
 
I would just use a sock you have and go from there. Its hard to tell the size of the duck with only pictures. Hope these help, also I use a shoe lace as my string, holds better!




First lay the sock flat and cut out the red colored part


Then cut along the red line, the piece you cut should look like a triangle


Then cut the top part, like you cut it in half


Should lay open like this. Cut slits where the red dots are (thats where the string will go through)

Holes should be there like this


Put the string through the two top holes. The sock will go underneath the duck while the string goes over


Then tie it. The dock doesn't have to be touching like the picture, depends on the ducks size


I twist the string to bring it down the center of the ducks back, that way it is not in the way of their wings


The rest of the sock should be underneath the duck, in-between the legs. Thats when you string the string through the two other wholes at the bottom of the sock. Should be around the tail.


Before you tie it in a bow, make sure it is pulled up on the ducks butt, that way it will actually catch the poop. The bow should be on top of the ducks tail


Sorry, I forgot! Before you string anything or put this on the duck make sure you remember to put a pad in this part. I usually just buy generic brand and cut them in half so it doesn't go all the way up the ducks tummy.


Just so you can see to reference, this is the back of my duck. He doesn't mind wearing his at all but I do change the pad every two hours or so. Mine also never sleeps in it.

**** BE CAREFUL WITH BABIES WEARING THESE, THEY WILL NOT BE COMFORTABLE IN THEM AT FIRST AND TRY TO PULL THEM OFF. THEY CAN POTENTIALLY GET THEIR HEAD STUCK INSIDE THE BUNNY EARS ON THE KNOT. THE DUCK COULD GET STRANGLED BY THAT *******

Just wanted to throw this out there since I have yet to find many other indoor duck people on here lol the duck diapers on etsy are insanely expensive!! I buy a pack of size 15 (mens) socks and cut them and put a pad at the bottom (to catch/absorb any poop). I have to say I agree with the changing every 2 hours or so. If you would like I can show you how I cut mine... My duck is a 4(?) month old Fawn Runner. The vet said he/she is definitely full grown though. Mine is an only duck as I found him/her in my backyard so he/she is super attached to me, follows me everywhere I go. My duck loves to play with my dogs toy stuffed bones or bears (something to potentially entertain them?). Hope this information helps!! If you ever have more questions feel free to send me a message :) good luck with your babies!!
