Eden has been at the center for a month now showing signs of recovery. However,
he is not eating on his own, so we still have to force- feed him ourselves. Since, we
started feeding him, he gained quiet a lot of weight (from 1905g to 2052g). We
give him a mixture of food, with some medicine, squid and spinach. During the
last month, he has not been in the water
to refrain him from using too much energy. But since, he has gained
weight and therefore we have put him back in the water. He still has buoyancy problems,
but now we have seen him trying to dive down which is a very good sign of
recovery. On the other hand, we are a bit concerned over a potential hook that
the veterinarian thinks may be inside Eden. We will keep monitoring it with
x-rays, but if it is a hook we may have a big problems taking it out.
Banyan tree guests have been
coming to the center to see Eden, they seem to like him a lot and he seems to
be comfortable with all of this attention :-). So far, most guest think that
Eden is a "she" but nobody knows... Feel free to let us know what do
you think about that!!
