There must be cake for birthday! Chongqing Zoo specially made the birthday cake of “Trellis Hot Pot”. The whole cake was in the style of hot pot. Tourists and conservators cut the bamboo leaves, bamboo shoots, apples, carrots and other ingredients that the giant panda likes to eat, and put them into Jiugongge to make the exclusive birthday cake of “Double Happiness”. The conservator will send the “hot pot” cake to the “Double Jubilation” stadium. And then people sang a birthday song together to give great blessing to the four babies.

This year, with the care of zookeepers, the four babies grew up healthily. Now they need to drink milk three times a day, with bamboo shoots, bamboo leaves, apples, carrots and so on. Despite that, they also show different characteristics. “Shuangshuang” and “Chongchong” liked to fight and act recklessly, loved to explore new things, and were all fond of apple. A zookeeper said that “it is good at getting apples”. “Xixi” and “Qingqing” are more independent, liked to be alone, “Xixi” does not cause trouble but was not afraid of things. “Qingqing” was like its mother, innocent and sweet.
