Momduck was hatching out babies yesterday and it was cold and rainy. She has a bum leg due to an idiot friend who thinks everyone should enjoy his dog when he visits. (no longer much of a friend) Anyway, with her bad leg, she ended up kicking out some of the hatching eggs and one little guy got left out in the rain as he hatched. I found him and thought he was dead, but as I was putting him in a body bag, I saw his foot move. I brought him in the house and put him in a dryer-warmed towel with a heating pad underneath. Believe it or not, he perked up within a couple of hours. It was still cold and rainy so I decided to give him 24 hours in the wamth. This is what I made. It worked perfectly. He never even left his little tent till I took him out this morning. Now he is out with his 3 siblings and happy as can be.
