Patient Updates
Neapolitan is finally eating on his own! He's been quite the attention seeker during feeds and this was a long journey, but he's gotten there! He's also being described as a "gentle giant". Oh Nea...
Neopolitan has spent the first night in his brand new pool. It has a fancy feature -- a viewing window! He's probably watching people around the clock now...
Neapolitan is the first ever seal pup to be moved to one of our brand new pre-release pools! He still hasn't quite mastered the art of eating fish on his own, but maybe this private luxury pool is an incentive... ;)
Neapolitan eats fish, just not on his own! He patiently waits until somebody comes to feed him. We are giving him some time to figure it out...
Neapolitan and Bloodstone are temporarily paired together and seem to be friends...
