Panda Updates – Monday, April 2

Since Ya Lun and Xi Lun have adjusted so well to their new routine, we’ve decided they are ready for the next step. Recently we have tried having Yang Yang stay overnight in the dayroom right next to theirs, and the subadults have done very well with that. They are usually sound asleep when we arrive in the mornings, and all their overnight bamboo is generally well consumed. So, the next step is to switch which dayrooms Yang Yang and the subadults have overnight. Yang Yang is going to have the one at the far end of the building, and the “subs” will be in the closer one. If Ya Lun and Xi Lun do well with this step we will be able to add more variety to their routine.
