During the 1st
few weeks of life, almost all tigers need a feeding every 2-3
hours 24/7. As they get older, the interval between feedings
increases. At around 3 months, bits of ground meat are
introduced very gradually into the milk.
Tigers cannot
tolerate sudden changes in their diet. In captivity, their
reaction to the addition of meat should be monitored all the time.
In the wild, the mother knows instictively the proportion of milk
to meat as her cubs get stronger.
Doesn't he make you
smile?
