His appetite has remained steady, even as he is being transitioned on to a specially formulated diet of frozen weaver ants mixed with silk worm larvae and cooked soy beans (it is difficult for the staff at Save Vietnam’s Wildlife to find enough high quality, live ant-nests to sustain the pangolins).
