I'm hungry!!

Soon after P.J. was born, we put her back in the enclosure with her mom, Lady. We wanted them to bond so we kept them in a smaller inside area. As we watched them interact, we noticed that Lady did not want anything to do with her new baby P.J. When P.J. went to get milk, Lady would walk away and not let her nurse. We were also seeing Lady nip at P.J., it was decided that we would hand raise P.J. It is always best to let the mother raise the young, but in this case, we had to step in. P.J. now has her own enclosure and eats every four hours starting at 6:30 am and ending at 10:30 pm. She has been steadily gaining weight.

P.J. has learned that I am her "mom" so she follows me close!
