Manja’s Journey: Climbing Higher Each Day
When Manja first arrived at the centre, she weighed only 2.2 kg, tiny, fragile, and in need of extra care. It was clear from the start that she needed close attention, especially when she began showing frequent scratching during her initial observation. She was diagnosed with bacterial dermatitis, a condition that can be uncomfortable and irritating for a young cub like her.
But Manja didn’t give up and neither did her caretakers.
With consistent treatment, patience, and day-and-night care, her condition has improved so much. Her skin is healing beautifully, the irritation has reduced, and her fur is slowly growing back! Manja has now been moved to the quarantine area, where she has plenty of space to roam and explore while indoors.
From 2.2 kg to 4.25 kg, Manja isn’t just growing, she’s thriving! She’s becoming more confident and naughty every day, exploring the forest area with curiosity and courage. And guess what? She can now climb all by herself! She gets especially excited during forest walks. Her eyes always busy looking around, as if she has so many things to do and explore.
From a tiny cub who didn’t know how to climb down on her own, to a brave little Manja who’s now busy going up and down all by herself. Her proudest achievement so far is reaching about 3 meters up a tree. A huge milestone for a little cub who once struggled and a proud moment for her caretakers.
Manja’s progress shows just how much care and attention her keeper gives her every day and night. She’s still on her journey, but we’re proud to see her growing into a strong, brave little cub!
