Evie, Custard Cream, Emma and Ken arrived in February 2009 In early February 2009 saw the arrival of four rescued seal pups from the RSPCA´s West Hatch Wildlife Centre in Devon.

Evie (orange flipper tag number 62023) was rescued from Crackington Haven on the 14th January 2009, she weighed 30.8 kilos but was under 3 weeks old and been abandoned by her Mum. Custard Cream (orange flipper tag number 62026) rescued from Rockham Beach in Devon, on the 26th January 2009, after being abandoned by his Mum also. Custard Cream is a bit of a fussy eater and is being assisted feeding by our Animal Care Team.

Update: 23rd February 2009 - Emma along with another pup named Ken have now been moved into the convalescent pool with the others and we are just waiting for Custard Cream and Evie to come up to weight, but these two are having great time playing with our visitors through the underwater viewing windows.
