After breakfast, sign up and get a uniform at the base. Your guide will introduce you to the professional panda keepers.
Morning Cleaning and Feeding (1½ Hours)

Then meet the group of cubs! Feed these fluffy balls with milk and bamboo shoots, and watch as the professional nanny wipes their mouths and pats their backs.
Take a break and tour around the panda base — this is the most active time of day for the giant pandas.
Best job ever!

Trip Notes
1. All keeper programs in the area are flexible and can be customized.
This tour is very flexible. You can alter the itinerary, and extend or shorten it to suit your schedule.
For example, you can attend all the panda keeper programs (for giant pandas, red pandas, and panda cubs) during your Wolong trip.
2. The base policy does not permit volunteer of the program to take picture due to the protection of panda babies.
Enjoy this best-ever job as the once-in-a-lifetime experience with the cubs is more meaningful than taking pictures.
