The mother, Saki, is raising her children well, and the fennec triplets are drinking breast milk and growing steadily. They started eating solid rice-soaked baby food from around one month old, and have now grown to about 540g, about half their adult weight, and have a strong appetite. Currently, the mother and child are mainly living in the backyard, but little by little they are learning to get used to the environment outside the animal enclosure. If the timing is right, you can meet the energetic triplets behind the glass, so please watch over them with warm eyes. *Depending on the physical condition of the animal, you may not be able to view it.
