Why are pandas difficult to take care of?

1. Environment: Under captive conditions, the most comfortable environment temperature for giant pandas is between 7 ℃ and 20 ℃. When the temperature inside the enclosure is above 25 ℃, cooling measures should be taken, and when it is below -10 ℃, insulation measures should be taken.

Adult giant pandas are accustomed to living alone, so the standard requires that they should have two separate animal shelters with a total area of no less than 30m ²。 Units that keep giant pandas for a long time should have an outdoor sports field no less than 200m ²。

Increasing the difficulty of feeding and adding toys to regulate the psychology and stress of giant pandas.

2. Diet: Requirements for the type and quantity of bamboo (adult pandas can consume 14kg-20kg per day), as well as the quality of bamboo. In order to balance the dietary nutrition of captive giant pandas, staff will use ingredients such as soybeans, rice, eggs, and bamboo powder to make high fiber steamed buns, which will be used as complementary food for giant pandas.

3. Diseases: Malnutrition, digestive system diseases, roundworm diseases, and other diseases require more scientific research to guide relevant prevention and management.
