Item Description

Since rescuing orphaned Mowgli, he has developed a bond with his keeper, and appears to be reciprocating the love he showers on him. As he dozes off at night, he always does a quick check to ensure that Satinder is around before going to sleep. A surprisingly early riser, Mowgli is generally awake much before sunrise, and realising that his keeper is still asleep, will spend his time playing happily with his enrichment ball, tossing it noisily about the night shelter till the racket wakes up his keeper just in time for sunrise and the first bottle of milk for the day. He greets Satinder gleefully as soon as he is awake, running up to him with all the energy his little legs can muster. Mowgli is slowly developing a love for the outdoors with its exciting smells and sounds, and although he isn’t strong enough to get far up yet, he has decided that climbing trees is his favourite sort of adventure, even scurrying up broken logs and sitting atop them proudly. His keeper is extremely fond of him, and encouraging of all his playful escapades and energetic running about, but particularly loves the warmer afternoons when our little bear tires of all the fun and just wants to snuggle up for a bottle of milk.

The vets at ABRF are thrilled to report that Mowgli absolutely loves his milk, and now feeds without any trouble, going through a bottle of lactogen every 3 hours as prescribed by them. He is growing well, and steadily gaining weight at a healthy rate – now almost 9.2 kilos!

We’re all thrilled that Mowgli is settling in well, and has found a foster mother and best friend in his wonderful keeper. But we realise the huge undertaking and responsibility we have towards this delightful cub and ensuring that he lives a life of safety and good health. To help us provide Mowgli with the care he needs, consider sponsoring him at this link.

As you can see, Mowgli goes through a lot of milk in a day. Consider buying him a bottle today!
