Blaze, female common seal pup, was rescued on 16th June 2016 from Heacham South beach after being found separated from her mum along with another pup. Both pups about a week old, they could be twins or they could be two separate pups that found each other after getting lost!
The Sanctuary named the other pup Bowser.

Update - 20th June 2016 : Blaze and Bowser were both underweight at less than 10kgs each but thankfully they are doing well in the hospital and have both put on a couple of kilos since arrival.
They started weaning onto whole herring fish today but they also get a special fish soup that is made by the Animal Care Team as they would still be nursing in the wild.

Update - 24th June 2016 : Blaze and Bowser are both being hand feeding well and keeping each other company in the pen together. They are both putting on weight nicely and very noisy together!
