Chubbie Cubbie Exam now. And he is crying....
Edit at 4:06 PM. I think I was wrong. He is back in the nestbox and it appears that they just readjusted the camera angle. I am also watching the hummingbirds, so maybe the crying noise was from that cam...

Friday, January 21 Update ...

The cub had his weekly physical exam yesterday and he now weighs 3.72 kgs. He is getting much more mobile now. He spends much of his time scooting around the nest box. I have seen him get at least two feet underneath himself and propel his body forward; he has yet to put all four feet on the floor at the same time. However, he already has enough muscle strength in his legs and neck to move himself around between all four of Lun Lun’s nipples during a nursing bout. Before long, he will be crawling and then climbing out of the nest box without Lun Lun’s help.

Monday, January 24 Update...

Lun Lun and cub were on the move last night. Every 20 mintues for two hours Lun picked up her cub and moved him all around their dens. The cub didn't seem to mind because he didn't make a peep, but Lun just couldn't seem to get comfortable. Around midnight I gave Lun Lun the rest of her overnight bamboo and she finally got comfortable eating. I guess the way to this girl’s heart is through her stomach! She ate for over an hour and half and then slept for the rest of our time together.

It’s normal for giant panda mothers in the wild to relocate their cubs to different dens. Lun’s restless behavior may have been an expression of this. She is still returning this cub to the nest box. Eventually we expect she will choose to park this cub outside of the nest box in an adjacent den. She did that with her previous two cubs. And it won’t be long before this cub will be able to climb out of the nest box on his own.

Beth, thanks so much for that update....just wanted to add this:

100 Day Giant Panda Cub Celebration
by Zoo Atlanta on Monday, January 24, 2011 at 2:24pm


Only cub born in the U.S. will get a name on February 15



The only giant panda cub born in the U.S. in 2010 will soon reach a new milestone: receiving his name. The cub’s name will be revealed during the 100 Day Giant Panda Cub Celebration at Zoo Atlanta on February 15, 2011.



Like his older siblings before him, the cub will be named in keeping with Chinese tradition, which holds that newborns receive their names around their 100th day of life. Additional information on the event will be provided as details are available. Save the date, and stay tuned for exciting announcements.



Born to Lun Lun on November 3, 2010, the cub is expected to make his public debut this spring. In the meantime, fans can keep track of the cub’s progress on the world-famous PandaCam presented by EarthCam, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on zooatlanta.org.



Tuesday, February 15, 2011 10 a.m.

Thanks for the 100 Day Celebration info SGB. :spingirl:
I hope they have a naming contest. I have a list of names I want to submit. Of course they all include Lan [for Atlanta] since the other 2 cubs have that as part of their names.

Wednesday, January 26
When I arrived for my shift on Tuesday evening, I got a surprise. As usual, I turned on the cameras in the nest box den to find Lun Lun and the cub, but I saw no pandas. That was odd. Where were Lun and the cub? Until this time, the cub has always been in the nest box even if Lun Lun was away eating. So, I had to turn on the dimmer lights in the den area to find them (we have an infrared light in the nest box den so we can see them even when the lights are out). I quickly found them curled up together, resting, in an adjacent den. Of course, Lun Lun got up as soon as she heard me in hopes of getting fresh bamboo and biscuits. As soon as she left the cub, he started vocalizing. She sat down to eat, but, seconds later, she rushed back to the cub and picked him up. After he quieted, she left again and tried to eat. The same thing happened. After going back and forth a few times, Lun Lun finally carried the cub back to the nest box. The cub was asleep within minutes. So, Lun Lun was able to eat for as long as she wanted in peace. This cub does not like to be left alone outside of the nest box! As Kris mentioned, soon Lun Lun may want the cub to spend more time in the other dens as she did with Mei Lan and Xi Lan. It will be interesting to see how he learns to deal with this important step of his development in the coming weeks.

I see he's holding his head up and rising on his 2 front legs. Pretty soon he'll be crawling. Great pic Beth- the pandas are so endearing!

I watched him squirm and wiggle all over the place for a little today. I think it won't be long before he synchronizes his front weggies with his back weggies. Lun's long naps may be a thing of the past pretty soon!

Oh his dream came true. Lun is back and has wrapped herself around him...:girlluv:
