Today Hanois our second grey seal pup this winter got his first swim since being rescued in one of the GSPCA Animal Shelter pools.
At only 3 to 4 months of age and having being kept warm during his rehabilitation after being found sick and injured near L'Ancresse 4 weeks ago he wasn't too keen on his first dip.
Geoff George Animal Collection Officer and main seal carer at the Shelter said 'A Bit like Jethou Bumblebee was, Hanois wasn't that keen coming out in the cold and diving in the water but once in he had a good look around.'

On Saturday 5th January GSPCA Shelter staff had a call to an injured seal pup at Pleinmont.
Animal Care Assistant Annabelle Janes and Senior Animal Care Assistant Yvonne Chauvel responded to find a thin, injured grey seal pup with laboured breathing.
At only 21kg the pup had to be carried to the van and transported to the Shelter as to have left him would have meant he wouldn't have survived.

We are pleased to announce that Jethou Bumblebee is doing extremely well.
He has been on fish soup for the past few days and last night devoured his first fish all on his own.
His appetite has picked up and he is going through fish at a rate on knots. As such the GSPCA are appealing for fish so that we can meet his very hungry belly.
The GSPCA would also like to appeal for a new chest freezer to help store all of the fish he will require to get him back to health.

With any rough and bad weather the GSPCA receives many calls about sick and injured animals.
Yesterday just after 3pm the GSPCA had a very unusual call from Jethou. A seal pup had been spotted coming ashore alongside the jetty and didn't seem quite right.
