Growth rates and energy intake of hand‐reared cheetah cubs (Acinonyx jubatus) in South Africa

Growth rate is an important factor in neonatal survival. The aim of this study was to determine growth rates in hand‐reared cheetah cubs in South Africa fed a prescribed energy intake, calculated for growth in the domestic cat. Growth was then compared with previously published data from hand‐reared...
