Abi First Time At New Project! • Introducing Abigale "A...
WOW! Abi The Cheetah had TWO CUBS! Everyone was SO shocked but elated! It was not expected as Abi was become a rescue cheetah education the public about captive but handicapped cheetahs! But several vets said she could mate and bare cubs if so desired. She DESIRED!
Abi has progressed far beyond Everyone's expectations. We are so proud! She has matured so much in the past year after acquiring her for my project and moving her to this one. Her confidence rose as well as her her condition with her bad hip and mental state. She started relaxing and trusting the folks caring for her and she OPENED up to everything to include breeding! Her mind and body opened up to the prospects of becoming a mother. Conditions were right! She selected a mate, one from this cheetah breeding project who is genetically diverse and viable, and they bred twice at two different times and the 2nd time succeeded in pregnancy!
The cubs are doing super! Nursing from mom from moment one. I'll be preparing future updates and posts about the cubs and mom. This video is few months old but everyone is doing SUPER!
Abi is legally owned by me but the cheetah father who bred with Abi is not. From a breeders agreement, only the female cub will be owned by me while the male is owned by the fathers owner. Both cubs will be FULLY raised to adulthood by Abi. As a first time mother, she is doing VERY well. SO protective all sudden and calling to them and nursing. She LOVES them. It's best to have mom cheetah raise their cubs because no one can substitute mothers milk. It has all the special nutrient inside to include antibodies, growth hormones and fats. So important!
I was amazed how Abi's hormones and instincts kick in for her new cubs. I mention no one taught Abi what to do from displaying while in heat, breeding, rolling, eating , more, then giving birth, nursing, calling, licking, and protecting her cubs. Since she trusts certain people (now even more people) she and her cubs get the best nurturing care possible and why I mention I am a HUGE fan of captive interactive care. It just means better success and better overall care for the animal. Just look and observe here and in the future.
Thanks for watching!

Abi is such a sweetie! Congrats to the new mother! I hope her cubs can grow up to being as sweet and gentle as her
THx. Abi is very sweet. Became a hormonal protective mother but still not violent and calmed down after seeing everyone cool with her and her cubs. I asked for the caretakers of the cubs to be humanized so I can have the cubs cared for by anyone that is hired or there. The female cub will be legally mine and I may loan her to another breeding project one day and want her tamed so they can care for her safely. It is all working. The cubs are already used to people. I will show in future videos.
They way Abi and the humans worked together here during such a stressful few moments was so beautiful. Thank you for all you do
I know. Abi places unmatched trust in some of the caretakers. Not me, but she is getting better and relaxed with everyone.
The sounds the cubs make are so freaking adorable! Teeny squeakies!
In know! Like some toy in the pet store!
OMG They are all soooooo cuuuuute...!!!😍😍😍😍 I´m so happy that Abi was able to bear cubs, she´s such a sweet girl. You could tell from her facial expression that birth was painful. But her cubs are so adorable! Hope that there will be more cheetah cubs in future...!
She did so amazing! She was ready for nature to bring cubs to this world. I was truly impressed how she changed to. VERY protective over the cubs, but she relaxed and allowed me to see them and now is quite calm about people milling about. Her instincts were amazing. She called to them, cleaned their bottoms to get them to defecate and ALWAYS worried where they are and responds to their calls. Just amazing. Even the cubs show their survival instincts, like the calls, looking for a nipple and constantly moving to get those weak legs to work!
I feel so privileged to see Abi give birth to her cubs. Thank you, Dolph, for sharing the great and important work you and others at Cheetah Rescue do to save this incredible species of cat. Cheetahs amaze me with their gentle nature.
Abi is so wonderful. A cliche statement, but it applies to her. She is very sweet and loving and has matured SO much over just a year after I brought her to this project. Same one Gabriel is at, my male cheetah. She is one that enjoys coming to you for snuggles and even sleepovers! Staff had to do 24hr watch over the cubs so they would secure their safety and spent it with her and the cubs in their wooden den. Abi used to spend nights at another project with volunteers (like me!) and so enjoys the sleepovers too. You see a night I spent with her this year in this video. At 3:11
congratulations to the mother
Surly! She will be raising these cubs until ready to separate which is in about one to 1.2 years when they are adult. The female cub will be part of the breeding program and the male is owned by the fathers owner and will either be the same and/or released into the wild. That is what this cheetah project does.
Abi is a sweet girl. I'm glad she has good people like you and the team who can watch out for her and take care of her.
She is very sweet. She does not like me much but when she does... it's rubs and purrs.
Absolutely gorgeous cheetah. Abby did so well w/ her new & adorable babies. THANKS for letting us enjoy this miracle. ❤️😻
Oh, how wonderful! She's gonna be a great mom to those two babies, and the opportunity you got to hold them is priceless. So, do we call you Grandpa from now on? 😸
Uncle! Thx and glad you enjoyed the video. Abi is a great 1st time mom and nature and herself are showing the way. All doing exceptionally well. No sickness or nothing wrong.
@@CheetahWhisperer Ok Uncle! This is so amazing to watch. I look forward to the next vid.
What a gorgeous cheetah and what an event. Adorable
Oh, Abi! What an amazing ambassador for her breed! I didn't realize how close together the spots were on baby cheetahs! Thank you for bringing this world to us. :)
It is wonderful.
My dream job right there! I love seeing the cheetahs look at you guys like you're all a perfectly normal, same species, family.
I know! wonderful. I wonder what cheetahs think of their caretakers? I swear Gabriel thinks of me as a coalition friend but definitely displays dominance. I am not his equal. Abi just loves to be touched, rubs, and attention.
I'm both very grateful for saints like you and the team who dedicate their lives to protecting those beautiful cats, and super jealous of the trust and affection they show you.
I think my drive to conserve these creatures is God driven. There is nothing more I want out of life than this.
Congratulation! That is wonderful news! I am super happy for her! 🐆❤ She is such a sweet and loving cheetah, I am convinced she will be a great mother! Always loved spending time with her and her sister. Good to see how well she is doing at your project! Wishing her and her cubs a bright and healthy future! :)
Abi has turned out to be a superb mother! SHe is already very loving to people and now focused on worrying about her cubs. SHe calls and worries about them like a mother. I'll show some of that video too. She goes on nature walks off lead with them in a veld area next door!
Congratulations Abi!!! Welcome to the world little ones. This is the best...2 new cheetahs. How lucky you are to be able to hold those precious cubs. See you next time.
It is wonderful! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Another 2 to add to your coalition! Congrats Doug! 😁
I know! Thanks for watching and commenting!
What a delight you are able to reestablish that beautiful relationship. This honestly brings me to tears. I think she likes you 😉😉😍😻
Ahhh that is so nice. You give consistent love and respect to just about any animals and it will show it back. All mammals, birds, and many reptiles but not sure about amphibians.
@@CheetahWhisperer My oldest son has a bearded dragon who has been with him for a good seven years now. Yes, they do show a form of love and appreciation!
Congratulation on abi new babies and I hope both of them are taking good well and treat them with respect and fed well hope they grew in the future!. 🥳🥳🥳
Will do and Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wonderful Mother Abi 😍 Your cubs are so precious and lovely 💖 Congrats Dolph now you're granddad 👍 Wish Gab crush will fall in ♥️ with him. Lots of hugs and kisses to babies and Abi 😘😘
Yes Abi is a wonderful mother! So amazing! Thx
Nurses like no problem. Not confused at all. That's a great cub right there.
THe cubs have instincts as well. It was amazing. Find the teat!!! Scream about it.
HOW WONDERFUL!!! Such important babies!
Truly! Thanks for watching and commenting!
This was beyooooond adorable!!!! May the babies grow up to be beautiful adults!!
SO glad you enjoyed the video. Abi is very special and now with the cubs... off the charts.
So glad it went well. Hopefully we'll be able to watch them grow up with you, too.
Me too! And YES... I'll show more and more about them. And of course Gabriel. He's not the father. He has his eyes on another cheetah female.
My favorite big cat/animal of all time they are stunningly gorgeous 😅
Mine too. Nothing like a cheetah.
@@CheetahWhisperer Seriously I could stare for hours! I’ll keep wishing to get to Africa someday you are so blessed in what you get to do!
@@dawnwalus6587 Great! I bet you are one of the cheetah watchers who watches the whole video! Thx! I suggest saving money and time and visit www.ruinningwildconservation.org in South Africa and volunteer!
@@CheetahWhisperer yes the whole video lol! I’m 63 Y/O I don’t think they’re take me lol
@@dawnwalus6587 Nope... they take in all vollies, and assign roles and duties according to abilities, taking in account limitations. I've seen older couples there and other places too.
Whoever was in the room when she was giving birth must be so trusted by Abi, she didn't seem nervous at all at a person holding her brand new baby. So sweet
Yup, exactly. Abi likes adult women mostly and that was the one spending most time with Abi. The founder of the project.
This videos equals 9 Minutes of smiling :) What a beauty
So glad you watched and enjoyed it!
congratulations. so wonderful 2 new born cubs is so cute! ❤
I know! It is super for the world!
Amazing to watch, especially the instinctive behaviour. Thanks for the video Dolph!
I know! I'll have more instinctive behavior examples in videos to come. Even the mating behaviors are instinctively programmed.
Oh wow! Abi purring, such a beautiful cheetah, cute cubs
It's Wonderful!
WoW! That's so wonderful to see! Congratulations the the new mum Abi and to everyone at the project! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It is a wonderful revelation. These are the worlds cubs and cheetahs...
Good Girl Abi! They are beautiful!
Truly!
Abi is such a great creature. Female cheetahs are the best.
True!
My life dream, cuddling with a cheetah. I have always loved them. Just to pat one I would die happy. Love the little ones. Poor momma. I'm happy to see them doing well. They got the short end of the stick, other animals steal the food that cheetahs work so hard to get as well as predators killing cheetah cubs. God bless you and yours, stay safe always.
Welcome and you can volunteer too. My cheetahs are at www.runningwildconservation.org and have a volly program. It's emphasis is caring, raising, and release but encounters happen when the cheetah decides (for the tamed ones). THey go on nature walks with some of them and encounters happen. You have to enter their enclosures to clean and some are friendly and come to you.
This is so beautiful, can't wait for the follow-up video 😍 The only birth i ever was close to was a horses, on the farm of an uncle. It is a special moment.
Wow! I've never seen a live birth of anything but maybe an egg sack from insects or spiders and moths.
Cute lil’ honey badgers.
Yeah that is what they look like. So cute.
Oh man they are adorable...Abi is lucky to have you there for this difficult birthing!
Thx. They are a blessing for sure!
Abi seems like a good mother even though it's her first time. 👍
She IS. I'll show how caring she is for her cubs. Always calls to them and initially worried about some people coming into to care for the camp they are in. She is TOTALLY accepting now. She's seen how everyone who is there loves cheetahs so much and she relaxed. I'll show some nature walks they all went on in the future.
Ohhhhh my gosh!!!! Congratulations!!! Thats too cool 🐆❤🐆❤🐆❤
I know. Quite unexpected and so wonderful! Abi was mainly rescue cheetah who is handicapped, bad hip and can't be released. Vets said she could safely have cubs and she did!
@@CheetahWhisperer i watched till end and got all tearyeyed when you were holding her cubs. Man theres no words i bet. ❤🐆🙋♀️
The cubs are cute, but I have to say, even Abi herself is loaded with the cuteness and I so envy Dolph for getting to be close to her and hearing her purr. I guess I will settle for stealing the affection and having a similar behavior from my neighbors cats... I mean if they roll on their back at my feet, I must be doing something right.
Cool you have cats around to enjoy.
What a great thing to find in my KZhead today. Congratulations to Abi and you all the people making it happen! Gosh they are cute!
Well that is GREAT! Glad you found this video and enjoyed it.
@@CheetahWhisperer been subscribed for years - I know what a long road it has been - your goals of helping to repopulate the cheetahs. This is a wonderful moment.
Congrats to Abi. Thank you for the special video Dolph. you & your friends are all heroes. #SaveTheCheetahs
Welcome! and thx.
Looking forward to seeing them grow. Cats seem to take on their parents purrsonality and quirks. Any seems like a good mom and just like a domestic with her babies.
Me too! Updates will be coming. Abi is a great mom. VERY happy and gratified.
Congratulations! These tiny cubs are so precious
Truly precious and invaluable to their species. They are doing PURRfect. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@CheetahWhisperer trying to help cheetahs too from Switzerland, you and others who dedicate their time to this cause are a huge inspiration to me. My wildest dream would be to join the team, or at least to volunteer and maybe, like you with Gabriel, befriend one of these wonderful beings
@@frederiquefroesch7223 Very cool. Keep the dream alive. I am trying too.
This was touching and beautiful to watch! Thank you for sharing this!! ♥️
SO glad you enjoyed the video. I love sharing about Abi and her cubs. Just a feel good event all around. They are not my cheetahs but the worlds.
It would make me so happy to watch these little cheetah cubs grow! I love cheetahs so much! ❤❤❤
I will show as much as I can and enjoying doing it. Unfortunately, I have a career outside of this to pay for my cheetahs care so see them about twice a year :( But the moments I have with and caring for them is indescribably. It means I depend on the project for video of Gabriel and Abi and now her cubs. But they are amiable which is nice. I traveled there when I heard Abi was pregnant for sure and how I got to see them.
What cute baby cubs! let them grow up healthy!❤
SUPER cute... More to show soon.
Soooooo adorable! Both Abi and her cubs!!
SUPER!
Great video! It's always gratifying to see these beautiful animals so well taken care of. Bless you all for making their lives pleasant.
Thx!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Abi so beautiful plus the kids too.
True true!
Glad they're healthy.
Me too. Because they are feeding from mom every day plus wild game food, they are doing great. No sickness at all.
Congratulations Abi and cute babies❤️
Thx so much. Enjoy.
This is awesome! 2 new cheetah's!
i know! Thanks for watching and commenting!
that was awesome dolph thank you for taking care of thise cheetahs the world needs them
The world definitely needs cheetahs. I want them to have a natural wild population. Part of that process is this breeding program and produced cubs. THe future is wide open for them.
Thank you sooooo much Dolf, for sharing this moment of pure magic of life. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Sheers from Sweden,, 🍻😎👍👍
SOO Welcome, my pleasure and just a wonderful miracle. More about Abi and the cubs in the future.
Welcome to the world cuties.🐾❤️❤️🐾 Congratulations, Great job Abi 🤎🖤 Lucky you to be able to experience such a special occasion and thank you for sharing with us 👋🏻👏🏻
It so super! I don't feel like they are mine but the worlds... sharing is important.
@@CheetahWhisperer I wish I could join your cheetah world just for a few days 🤩🥰
Most of us take the birth as a pretty normal thing, but when you see it and think about it it's really a beautiful miracle...
It is amazing! Thanks for watching and commenting!
So beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing❤
So glad you enjoyed Abi and her cubs...
mother has gifted you with an insane level of trust. lucky man! (yes, i know it’s not luck, but you’re still fortunate to have this gift)
True... not luck, combination of Abi's personality and of course people who consistently love and respect her. She likes encounters so that made it easy. But she LOVES any woman no matter what. That who was inside the birthing den with her. She trust that women more than anyone.
Congratulations to Abi, they are so adorable!❤❤
Such grand news... Doing so well. No problems at all. Cubs need to feed from they healthy mom to prosper.
I love cheetahs! Nothing sweeter than a cheetah baby!
Oh la la, a great coat for this winter!
Wow Abil so darn sweet omg congrats they are very cute first time watch a cheetah birth so cool thanks so very much she amazing mommy
Abi is a wonderful loving cheetah. So protective of her CUBS too. She has relaxed now and learned folks around her cubs are OK now. THey even go all together, people, Abi and cubs on open off leash Veld walks in the bush. I will show this in the future here.
Abi is so beautiful. Congrats to her and her cute little cubs. 😊
Cubs are just beautiful 🎉
YES!!!! what a miracle. I never expected it so was happily surprised.
Absolutely awesomely beautiful 😍 ❤ ♥ 💕 💖GOSH! How I LOVE THESE 🐆 cheetahs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
SO glad you enjoyed the video and cheetahs.
Hi Dolph ! 👋 What a wonderful, heartwarming video ! 👍👍👏❤🙂 Abi is a great mom ! 👌❤
So true!
Great video! So glad they are healthy and happy!
Me too. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks! Everything counts and I love your videos Dolph, they make my day! I love cheetahs, always have, always will.
Well DANG! Thanks for the support! It does mean more mouths to feed! Abi is allowed ALL the food she wants now. Eating for three and two are growing.
Thank you so much as always!
Welcome and thx.
Your advice in the first part about interacting with a female cheetah is also pretty good advice for interacting with a female human.
GUess so!
Yay!!! Happy to see things going well for you and the cheetahs Dolph!!!
What a feel good event this is. Love sharing it. Rare event.
@@CheetahWhisperer very rare Dolph! You should be proud, your team should be proud because not only is it extremely rare to breed cheetahs in captivity, but extremely difficult also! And abi did such a wonderful job, she's Gonna be a great mother 👍
@@Hotelguitarplayer I KNOW! I was so surprised and exhilarated! But this project does most all necessary to make captive breeding cheetahs successful. They focus on release too!
Following this channel pays off. every single video
So glad you enjoy the experience.
Awwwe, oh my gods, congratulations!!
Such a wonderful event for the endangered cheetah. Hope to have this happen more and more to increase the population and begin releasing them to do it on their own.
I want a cheetah now
Super thx for loving cheetahs and Thanks for watching and commenting!
Abi you are a rockstar!
Cheetah cubs are so adorable.😘😘
Truly.
ah that heat rolling-move just like a kitten
Abi, You’re such a good mama! 💛🖤
What a great program👍 Thank you for sharing. Say hello to Gabriel 😃🐾🐅
Gabriel is doing super and saw and met the cubs between the fence already. He didn't do anything but be curious but the cubs didn't like him. As they should not trust him, like in the wild. Don't trust any predator but mom.
@@CheetahWhisperer Thanks for the info..Looking forward for the next videos
This is amazing footage
Thank you
This video is so precious ! The cubs are so adorable and so tiny ! Thank you for sharing ! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😊😊😊☮️☮️☮️
beautiful creature.
Truly.
excelent! 2 new furballs to help the magnifficent cheetahs grow. i cna only hope that the crested subspiecies also has net growth.
I know. Pray more to come...
Good job Abi!👏 You did it well👍 Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful experience with us. Can't wait to see your upcoming videos😊
Thx! Glad you enjoyed the video.
I WANT TO CUDDLE THOSE BABIES SOOO DARN BAD!!! TOO CUTE FOR WORDS OMG!!! 🥰🥰💕💕
I KNOW! Just amazing. Their eyes began opening day 4. Next video I show that.
@@CheetahWhisperer Looking forward today seeing the next video!
@@LegoBuildersMOC Great!
What an amazing cheetah mommy! 😍🐆
incredible ... wow. thank you for sharing!
Welcome!
This is truly amazing
I thought so too. Mom and cubs!
That is so wonderful.
Truly...
Congratulations! They are so cute
Thx and I know! I was so surprised how active they are RIGHT out of the womb! Chipring, squealing and even purring! I show it next video.
Wow, the little ones really look like badgers from _birth!_ Absolutely wild.
Yes! really cool. And their sounds they make aren't the typical predator sounds.
@@CheetahWhisperer Oh yeah, that'd make sense!
Way to go Abi!!
Yeah!
Beautiful !
Thanks!
Soooo beautiful
You all do work that is above & beyond in all that you contribute to wild cats. The other very important aspect to your work is allowing the babies to thrive in an unthreatening environment to their natural enemies. You all are saints for educating people and loving the creatures you work with!! Bravo!🐈🐾🥰
The cubs are adorable !! And they need names !!
This was really beautiful, thanks for sharing🙂
Welcome!
Very cute and educational!
Thanks!
Beautiful and wonderful video. Thank you for all your efforts
So glad you enjoyed the video! Welcome.
