Or wait – Call him Tea! Mr. Tea. Hee – they’re using a hair dryer to dry him off. ETA! And he’s up! ---

Why are they using a blow drier on Bao? He’s standing! ---

I’m a little concerned about China’s maternal instincts - she’s not even _trying_ to get him to nurse. ---

Oh ho! Poor wee thing got stuck in the corner beside the feed tub with his little head pressed into the wall, had to be rescued. China’s had foals before, so presumably she knows what she’s doing. ETA: She’s nuzzling him now. Got her flank to him. ---

Huh. I wonder whether he’s actually cow-hocked, or whether that’s just newborn wobbly spraddling of his hind legs? ---

LAtch on? He was right there but I’m not sure he actually grabbed hold. Now China’s offering him her other side. ---

Okay, human intervention to get latch on, which got China riled up when human picked up baby. But I think we’ve got it at last. ---

I missed another one! I like the name Tea-Bao. China doesn’t seem to be happy with them blow-drying him. I don’t blame her. They should be letting them bond. StG ---
