Panda gives birth

[Catherine]

We were all so happy when twin panda cubs were born. Sadly the weaker twin has died. We do still have one healthy twin so it is still a happy event.

There are so few pandas in the world that every birth is a special event.

I found an interesting article that goes with this and explains why the female stopped caring for the smaller baby.

It is all about survival and that can be difficult.
I found that when one of my dwarf hamster females rejected a baby it died later even if I fed it. There was clearly something wrong that only the mother could sense.
