When I run my code I get this message "When I call the eat method, I don't get the correct message. Make sure to use the name attribute that is passed in to the instance" the code is supposed to return the text "Bao Bao eats Bamboo". Any help on how I can go about this
class Panda:
species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
food = 'bamboo'
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.is_hungry = True
self.name = name
self.age = age
def eat(self):
self.is_hungry = False
self.name = 'Bao Bao'
return (f"{self.name} eats {self.food}")

Just delete the line where you set the name and add a period at the end of the last string return. You should also delete the parenthesis around the return statement -- this is a personal preference. The Challenge grader is unfortunately picky and you have to get it 100% correct!
The Challenge grader does the rest. Good luck with your Python journey!!
class Panda:
species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
food = 'bamboo'
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.is_hungry = True
self.name = name
self.age = age
def eat(self):
self.is_hungry = False
return f"{self.name} eats {self.food}."
