Patient Updates
Garnet has been moved to a pre-release pool, where he has joined Beryl. He is now learning to compete for fish - a vital skill if he wants to survive in the wild!
Garnet is finally eating fish on his own, and he is loving the fact that he gets at least 4-6 baths a day. He’s an independent boy now!
Garnet has left quarantine, but is still in "fish school" and learning how to eat fish. He's making very good progress!
