Today, Nubee is 13 days old. Her upper canines and incisors are irrupting. She trys to bite her handlers’ fingers in attempts to ease the discomfort associated with teething. Staff has been regularly massaging her gums to ease the process. She seems more alert today than in previous days. She is also beginning to explore the logs, balsam boughs and rocks which are found in the pen.
