Sorry it took me so long to reply, I didn't even know he was pet of the day! Bumby eats duck pellets and takes a bath (just water) everyday in the tub for two hours. This takes the pressure off of his feet and allows him to relax and float. Bumby likes tomatoes, green pepper, and spinach as treats. He lives in the house and has his own bedroom and his own ducky diaper bag full of toys. He is not potty trained, ducks can not be potty trained unfortunately, so we have rugs placed in the areas that he spends most of his time. The rugs get washed 2 or 3 times a week, and we clean up after him when he goes. Bumby will sometimes tolerate me holding him, but he would rather just lay in front of me. I am so excited he was pet of the day!! Thanks everyone for the nice comments. If anyone on here has pet ducks and are interested, there is a Yahoo! group called Pet Ducks R Us that is a group of people all with pet ducks inside and outside.
