Does the colour change wear out over time?

The effect can fade with long exposure to sunlight, so storing the ducks out of direct sun helps it last.

What if the bath is not warm enough to change the colour?

The listing usually states the temperature range for the effect. Running the duck under warmer tap water is an easy way to see the change.
