Urgent note to the zoo authorities:
Dear panda keepers, Please note that the paint on the broom is toxic, & it's not safe for the pandas or any child to chew on or swallow it. ( Even the water based paint is unsafe to ingest. It is worse than food color, which should not be given to young children to eat !!! ) If you must keep a broom in the panda house, please get one made from all natural wood & soft bristles, without any paint.
@4:15 to 4:29, one panda cub is chewing the painted handle of a broom. The red paint has been chewed off where the cub's teeth marks fall. ( Paint is clearly chewed off on 3 sections on the long broom handle as shown on this video.)

Where is this zoo? Names of these cubbies? Are they born twins?

How old are they? They look too young to be given big bamboo branches to chew or eat. If they are still growing their baby teeth, they cannot digest the hard bamboo stems yet. At this stage, to practice using their new baby teeth, they should only be given soft food to chew on. (eg. Soft panda buns made of crushed/powdered bamboo leaves, eggs & milk )
If they are left alone without their panda mom's presence, thus no one closely supervises & stops them from putting non digestible material into their mouths, they can suffer from choking ; or worst, indigestion of the hard bamboo pieces clogging their alimentary canal or intestine.
( Note: The panda cub Bei Bei ( National Zoo, Washington, USA) had to go through an operation in Dec, 2016 to remove a bulk of hard material stuck in its intestine. Luckily, Bei Bei recovered well because of early diagnosis of the ailment.)
