Duck ate plastic should i be concerned?!

[Dynasty and Delta]

Hello BYC, today one of my ducks ate a small piece of brittle plastic. It looks like it came off from an old weathered feed bag. I'm not to worried, but is there anything I should be aware of and anything I could do?

Do they have access to grit? if so hopefully the grit will grind it up and they will pass it on out.

I mix grit in the feed they are given twice a day, so hopefully that will help.

much better to keep the grit in a separate bowl and they will take as much as they need

That sounds more natural; I'll start to do that from now on thanks for the tip.

Yes, he is doing great! He hasn't had any problems and I am pretty sure it would've passed through his system by now. Thanks for following up
