The main food for a Red Panda is bamboo. There is not much nutritional content in bamboo which is why Red Pandas in the wild will spend around 15 hours a day eating the leaves. Although our Red Pandas do have fresh bamboo every day, we also give a high fibre bamboo panda cake to make sure they get enough leafy content in their diet. The panda cake comes as a course powder which we mix with warm water and roll into cake balls. They also enjoy vegetables like sweet potatoes, parsnips and carrots which are steamed and small amounts of grapes, apple and pear. A sack of 'panda cake mix' costs us around £40 a week to feed for two Red Pandas.

Thank you for your support for our Red Pandas, Jai-li and Suri.

With heartfelt thanks from all of us at Paradise Park xx
