The birth of six cubs at once is extremely uncommon, making it quite difficult for the zookeepers to raise and care for them. White tiger sextuplets are extremely uncommon, according to the zoo’s head of animal management, Xu Fu, who spoke to CCTV.
The mother tiger will experience stress if she must care for her cubs on her own. As a result, we started using the artificial breeding technique right away. The nursery staff took care of the six cubs when we brought them there by acting like human parents.
The white tiger sextuplets will be cared after according to a unique parenting strategy that has been developed. In order to make the mother tiger’s job of raising her young simpler, they are utilising an incubator with a continuous temperature of 26 C.
The cubs are also looked after by zookeepers around-the-clock; they are weighed daily, given milk every two hours, and have their abdomens massaged daily to aid with digestion and defecation.
