Naim's husbandry training, stress-free health check
Yesterday, I was able to watch Naim undergoing husbandry training.
I'm uploading the video here, even though the footage is a bit unclear.
While he eats meat, his body is checked via palpation. His heartbeat is monitored with a stethoscope. He practices for procedures like injections and blood draws.
Then, he undergoes palpation again. Because of his advanced age, he receives thorough check-ups.
The veterinarians and keepers at Ueno Zoo take excellent care of the Pallas's cats; I trust them completely😊

How patient and calm he is 😊 Wishing the kitty good health 🙏
More patient than I am at checkups some times. Go Naim!
Wonderful to see Naim getting such attentive care! May he continue to enjoy strong health and caring keepers in his golden years! 💚
That's amazing, that he lets himself be handled like that. He didn't seem bothered at all.
I’ve always wondered why Naim’s enclosure has red lighting. Is it related to his health?
This video is amazing, thank you for sharing! Naim is so calm, not slightly bothered by the procedures 😻
He’s being petted!!! Happy
