The duo, who were born on 8th September, spent a month in their nest box with keepers just hearing occasional squeaks. Dave White, team manager at Chester Zoo, says: “Now that our new duo has started exploring they’re going to keep mum, dad and the rest of the dwarf mongoose group very much on their tiny toes.
