Keepers welcome rare and tiny mouse deer born at Marwell Zoo

When born, the young are the size of a rat and can run and jump soon after birth. They suckle only occasionally, and only at night.
Tim Rowlands, Marwell Zoo’s Hoofstock Team Leader, said: “We separated the male and female two weeks before she gave birth so she would not be disturbed, even by him, mimicking the natural behaviour of the female taking herself away to find a quiet and secure spot to give birth in the wild.
"All deer species will hide their young until they are older so they will only really come out to feed then hide again.

The mouse deer, otherwise known as the javan chevrotain, was born at Marwell Zoo in Hampshire this week to parents Gus and Gwen. The tiny fawn is one of the smallest hoofed animals in the world weighing in at approximately 370 grams. Zoo keepers say that the fawn is doing well although interactions must be kept to a minimum due to the sensitivity of the small species. When born, mouse deer are roughly the size of a rat and will only grow to about 50-53cm in length.
