Bonnie the grey seal pup at the GSPCA continues to make good progress and today she received a room upgrade at the GSPCA.
Having been slowly introduced to a small pool in the wildlife unit at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews she now has a choice of two.
Both pools have viewing through reflective glass to minimise her contact and even a feeding tube to help reduce her interaction with people.
Bonnie is still more than 15kg in weight away from being released but the team are pleased with her rehabilitation to date.
Geoff George Animal Collection Officer and head carer said "Bonnie took her first dip in the big pool today which was great to see."
"As well as building her weight she also needs to be fit for when we release her back to the wild."
"She is eating very well and we are so grateful to those that are donating towards her care."
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "It was fantastic to see Bonnie enjoying the big pool today and how she is putting weight on but you wouldn't believe how many fish she eats every day."
"Even though we buy the herring in bulk she is eating between £10 and £20's worth of fish every day and every penny donated towards her care helps make a real difference."
"She is still too thin and weak to be returned to the wild but we make progress every day and hopefully sometime in April all being well we can see her returned to where she belongs."
"Thank you to all supporting her care and if you would like to help Bonnie please donate online, call us on 257261, pop in or get in touch it is really appreciated."
