The two developing joeys are quickly becoming a sensation at the park - with only one other twin pair reported at a European zoo so far.
As part of a collective of around thirty, the twins’ mother was first spotted with two little heads popping out of her pouch last month.
It is thought many people are likely to travel to the popular tourist attraction during the upcoming bank holiday weekend in order to meet the new arrivals.
