Day 7 @ Chengdu Panda Base as Pambassador

Hello everyone!

This morning 幸浜 was eating bamboo shoot when I arrived at his enclosure.
Many tourists were watching him with a smile on their face.
I was delighted to share my infromation on 幸浜 and 秋浜
with tourists from abroad.












Brought him inside for some treats. 幸浜 saying "Hi" to us.












Today we made holes in bamboo and put apples inside to feed 幸浜.
A kind of game that we had prepared for him.


















"What is this? How should I play with it?"












"Smells of apples, but I can't see anything..."












"Or shoud I eat this bamboo??"












Rolling the bamboo to see if it works.












But then he realized that he couldn't take out the apples...
All the apples just fell on the ground, and unfortunately he didn't notice them.
He got so angry, and came running towards us!
He was fast!!!


















Then began to act like a child.
This tree is too small for you, 幸浜...


















"I'm going to break this tree!"
And this went on for 10 minutes after he became tired and went to sleep.


















In the afternoon, the vet came for a blood test for 幸浜.
This is just for a normal health check, and according to the vet,
all the Pandas in Chengdu Panda Base are being tested
every 2-3 months. Of course, if they have any other problem,
the vet takes care of them accordingly.
幸浜 was a good boy just as he was at the trainings we had done for him.


















The vet rubs 幸浜's arm, and finds the vessels at once!
She was professional!












She is the vet in Chengdu Panda Base.
She was doing the same blood test for 5 Panads today.


















These are the blood taken from 幸浜


















And this is 秋浜's feces for today.
Lots of apples that wasn't digested.












This is the one with lots of bamboo.












It seems that during my lunch time 秋浜 had fun outside
rolling around beside his pond and breaking lots of trees.
It has only been 2 days after we had given him a shower,
now he is so dirty... but he is still cute!












秋浜 eating apples inside the bamboo.
He was clever, and ate all the apples.
It took him about 10 minutes to enjoy them all.


















We have also been experiencing many laboratory work
for the past few days, such as the DNA and Hormone testings,
and I would like to share these information with everyone
in the weekend.
