My duckling won’t stop biting everything and me

I need help with why my duckling is biting everything? My mother’s coworker brought three ducklings eggs but unfortunately only one of the three ducklings survived and he had let us take care of it. The duckling is almost two weeks old, it’s in good health and seems to have taken a huge liking to me since it’s following me everywhere I go, but it’s starting to bite everything. I don’t think the duckling is stressed as my duckling seems to be doing well and shows no signs of anything concerning besides its love for biting. I thought at first it might be it’s instinct to forage, but then it started biting a lot more like my piercings, my feet, anything shiny, trying to bite off the my moles on my skin, towels, basically trying to bite anything and it gets extremely eager (like either excited or aggressive?) when it sees anything white like toilet paper. It’s just biting everything, and I’m not entirely sure if it’s just curiosity or something else? I’m worried that it might become violent, and I’m struggling to find ways to correct its behaviour.
