00:00She's about just over a year old now, which is a red panda.

00:15She was sadly rejected by her mother, and was only 400 grams when I took her in my care.

00:22Worked around the clock, looking after her and stuff, and she's now about a year and

00:26a half old, and she's thriving, and she's four and a half kilos.

00:29I can't do much when I go in there, you know, to work and clean and feed and everything

00:39and stuff like that.
