Ducks are illegal to own here, You should not get this duck, you know nothing about it. Why are you even considering without doing any research, a hamster cage?? HA, that will be WAYYYY to small for a duckling. My hamsters barely fit in mine let alone a duck. Geeze, have you dont ne research?? You should not keep a duckling out side because it is to cold for them, they need warmth. do you have a garage? with a heater?? do you have a dog kenal? a kiddy pool? if you dont, then you shouldent get a duck..
