My duckling won’t stop biting everything and me

[seallover]

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.

Can you rehome to someone with ducks?

I unfortunately can’t, it’s not my duckling and I’m only looking after it until it grows bigger. It would’ve been even more alone if it had stayed with its real owner. I’m hoping that the owner is going to hatch more ducking eggs

I hand reared a rescued duckling that was found as a day old running round a parking lot in a rainstorm late in the evening. I couldn't get ducky friends until he was 6 weeks old. Meanwhile he was obsessed with trying to remove the 4 Microsoft squares from the bottom left of my laptop keyboard!

I wish the hatch went well so it’d have its friends, I’ve had to give it my stuffed animals to keep it company, and so far it seems to be enjoying it since it keeps snuggling up with the stuffed animals
