Getting mandarin ducks

[cassandrapettersson]

I need mandarin duck pen inspiration ASAP.
I've been studying mandarin ducks and how to care for them for some years, AND I JUST GOT A ONCE IN A LIFE TIME OPPORTUNITY
I'm honestly crying as I'm typing this, I'm so excited. I live in sweden, and I have never, NEVER found a single mandarin duck breeder or let alone someone who owned any.
And now... I just got the best deal ever... 160 dollars for a pair that I get in spring, this spring!!
Any inspiration for their pens? As well as any helpful advice in caring for them etc

You'll need nestboxes set up they are cavity nesters unlike most ducks you typically see.

The female is in the tree if you look in the hole
