Unfortunately, two of the cubs died in mid-May. Investigation revealed two causes. The first was that mother Amérie did not have enough milk to feed all the cubs adequately for a longer period of time. In addition, there was a special water germ, which is not unusual and does not pose a problem for adult animals, but was life-threatening for the vulnerable young otters. The two remaining cups, a male and a female, were treated with antibiotics and have now recovered.
