102 is too hot for him and dehydration is too big a risk for him. Muscovies are more susceptible to dehydration.

That's right, I remember you saying they are more susceptible to dehydration. (memory loss here)

I have tried this, I have also used a bandaid, Didn't work out for me at all, But when I switched to the Hair Tie and some of them come without the Metal piece in the middle. WORK OUT GREAT within 24 hours problem solved.

Thank you Kathy and Lori. I'm going to try the towel and watch him...give him the day and see how it goes. If I don't see better movement, I will wrap his legs (and that is very similar as to what we do with parrots). THANK YOU!

Going to let my husband drill the safe hole in 12 and will let you know what I find.
