I've not done this much before but I have a little experience in caring for family and friends dogs, cats and fish when they're on holiday. I saved a little duckling when he was only a few days old and had no idea where he came from. I woke five times a night like with a new born to reheat his wheat bag, feed him and give him some water, He is now a great big Pekin Duck that follows myself and my pet Rottweiler around like we are one. Having a pet duck means everything has to be kept clean all the time or he will eat everything on the floor and having a Rottweiler means that I'm used to walking large dogs constantly.
