“Yang Guang is not on show today as he has an episode of colic. It’s not very serious but can cause some discomfort. He’s on medication to relieve this and we’re mainly keeping him relaxed and indoors, although we expect he’ll go out sometimes to stretch his legs.
These episodes can sometimes last up to a couple of weeks, so he may not always be on show over the next week or so. Alison, our panda team leader, and the veterinary department are keeping a close eye on him. Having discussed this with our colleagues in China, they reassure us this is not uncommon in pandas.
“Tian Tian is right as rain and remains on show daily”.
