I cannot believe how fast this little critter is growing!!! Of course I'm also reminding myself of how big my first 2 ducks were, and they were only 3 weeks when I got them. She is quickly outgrowing her current "brooder," I have to go on the hunt this week for something bigger...maybe, just maybe, Walmart will still have kiddie pools lol
She's driving me nuts at the moment, she's freaking out over the pine shavings in her brooder...I have them covered with fabric, but I think I'm going to have to replace the shavings with newspaper...with fabric on top, of course, I don't want any leg injuries!!
As I mentioned, we got her a little stuffed bear thing at Petsmart that she has been sleeping with, and it shows her change in size most dramatically...
She hatched on the 10th.
Here is Indigo when we got it on the 12th...
And here is Indigo with the bear on the 15th...
Well, I'm off to pitch her in the scrap pile and clean out her cage (hehehe it's just a small bin with shavings for her to sit in long enough for me to get her tote cleaned!), maybe let her hang out in the tub for a bit. Did I mention she doesn't swim, she hops like a frog? Crazy duck...
