Have a feeling it is more likely to be crate-training the old female so that they can move her offshow when they eventually get a new male; that panda looks a bit grizzled and old!
Chester recieved a new female back in April to live along side the aging Lushui.
Her name is Nima and she was fathered by Chota,who is one of the chester cubs from 2008, therefore she is Lushui's Grandaughter.
The plan is to obtain a male to pair her with, so when you said new male I got excited.
