Is my gosling normal and very well behaved or is something wrong?
My gosling is a week old today I never intended to just have one goose but the other egg didn’t make it past day 20, I’ve read everything on the internet (which wasn’t much) about how my life will change forever! I will not be able to leave the gosling alone at all, it will be depressed on its own and it’s a lot of work! Obviously I was a little worried but at the moment due to uk lockdown I’m at home 24/7 so I went ahead, BUT...... my gosling is sooo chill, he eats and drinks and poops, he cuddles with one of my jumpers and a stuffed toy he does peep very quietly on an off but only ever shouts loudly when he sees my face, he’s never loud through the night ( I get my full 8 hours) he sits down to stretch his legs which I think means he’s relaxed? He sleeps in a brooder next to my bed but I can leave the room at anytime and never hear him call out for me, I think as long as he’s got his toy he’s ok, so I’m just checking that this sounds ok or what are the signs of being depressed? I’ve always thought with any animal if they are eating drinking and pooping they are fine, the only thing that has me worried is that he sits down a lot, he can walk fine but I don’t no how much goslings rest, thanks
Ps one of the photos are of his set up
