Auckland Zoo staff hand-rear tamarins after mum was unable to produce milk

Danielle Clent Reporter from Central Leader

Hi neighbours, twin tamarins are thriving at Auckland Zoo after their mum was unable to produce milk, leading to them being hand-reared.
The rare golden lion tamarins, a male and a female, were born to mum Frida on July 17.
Frida was unable to produce milk for her babies, meaning zookeepers had to make the decision, when they were two days old, to hand-rear them instead.
Check out how cute they are!
