a giant panda has one cub at a time.
The Giant Panda usually has one, sometimes two very small cubs. A single cub requires all of the mother's attention. If she has more than one in the wild, she will almost always focus completely on just one of the cubs, essentially abandoning the second one. In captivity a process to save all siblings has proved very successful. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

How often does a panda bear mate?
Once a year Giant pandas reach breeding maturity between four and eight years of age. They may be reproductive until about age 20. Female pandas ovulate only once a year, in the spring. A short period of two to three days around ovulation is the only time she is able to conceive. Calls and scents draw males and females to each other. Female giant pandas give birth between 95 and 160 days after mating. Although females may give birth to two young, usually only one survives. Giant panda cubs may stay with their mothers for up to three years before striking out on their own. This means a wild female, at best, can produce young only every other year; in her lifetime, she may successfully raise only five to eight cubs. The giant pandas' naturally slow breeding rate prevents a population from recovering quickly from illegal hunting, habitat loss, and other human-related causes of mortality. found here : http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/GiantPandas/PandaFacts/default.cfm
