LOOK AT THEM

This week a number of our harbor seal pup patients begin a new phase of rehab-a significant decrease in exposure to the people that make up their animal care team!

When maternally dependent harbor seal pups first come in, they require frequent feeds throughout the day, daily weights, frequent exams, diagnostic tests (such as blood draws) and treatments (like nebulizers), night feeds to sustain them until the morning, and short, supervised swim times. While we always interact with these wild animals as minimally as possible, initial care often requires extensive support which means more exposure to people. As they gain strength, weight and return to health, the amount of support they need from us decreases.

Now that two groups of pup patients are big and strong enough to go the whole night without any support, have graduated to once weekly exams and weights, and are off of nearly all specialized treatments, we are backing down their interactions with us. This also means decreasing the number of feeds in a day and offering them larger meals to continue gaining weight, and generally reducing the amount of time people are present in the part of the center that they are occupying. This is a critical step in the process of preparing them for life in the wild again, and this week they are taking one step closer to release!

Baldi Flo aus Cuxhaven
Baldi Flo wurde verwaist am Strand von Cuxhaven aufgefunden. Nach sorgfältiger Prüfung durch unsere Mitarbeitenden war klar: Die Mutter ist nicht mehr in der Nähe, das Tier benötigt Hilfe.
Er wurde daraufhin in die Seehundstation Norddeich gebracht, wo er nun versorgt und aufgezogen wird. In den ersten Tagen erhält er eine spezielle Muttermilch-Ersatzemulsion, später wird auf ganze Fische umgestellt.
Wenn Baldi Flo kräftig genug ist, wird er als selbstständiger Seehund zurück in die Nordsee entlassen.

Way to go, sealy! 😍

Big day for this harbor seal pup patient as she masters one more critical life skill on her pre-release checklist: the hot and humid day water soak 💦

This pup may look like she's taking it easy, but she has been working hard to gain strength and weight so she can get out of here and back to the ocean as soon as possible!
