Pixie’s Pup Name Reveal

Skegness Natureland — Fri, 18 Aug 2023 08:54:56 +0000

After the extra long wait for Pixie’s pup arrival on 29th July, the little boy now has been given a name!

Following our seasonal naming convention of a chosen theme, this year is Mr Men & Little Miss.

Going to a vote on our social media channels, the public have decided on Mr Tickle!

As ‘Tickle’ is brother to Pixie’s previous pup last year, both the public and Natureland felt it was only right to name him after his older brother Pickle.

Mr Tickle has made great progress with Mum and will soon be ready in the coming weeks to transfer to our Rearing Pool, ready to learn how to catch fish, just like our rescue seals and get used to other seals in a safe, simulated environment. In the future, Tickle will eventually be released back into the wild, just like his older brother Pickle for, hopefully, a happy and enriching life.

At Natureland, we look forward to seeing how our little pup progresses further over the next few weeks with updates being made on our social media channels – Facebook & Instagram.

You can catch a glimpse of Mr Tickle at Natureland whilst with mum or learning with other baby seals in our rearing pool this summer!

We look forward to seeing you soon.

This week the girls have both turned 21!

The keepers have been busy celebrating Fergie and Victoria’s birthday with a mermaid themed party along with some fishy goodies, icy cocktails and new toys!

Keepers Emily and Jade served our birthday ladies a Blue Lagoon, Aperol Sprats, Squid Sangria and Seal on the Beach! I think it’s safe to say the girls had a fantastic time!

And a big thank you to our donators that got the girls their gifts. They loved their birthday cake and their enrichment puzzle feeders.

This is an incredibly proud and special moment for us to reach this milestone! The team had a fabulous morning waving off Chilli and Jalapeño into the big wide world.

We’d like to thank our incredible team that work so hard. They are so passionate about the conservation work and the pups in their care and it really shows when we hit milestones like this.

Well done guys!

We’d also like to say a big thank you to all of our followers, supporters and visitors for donating and therefore helping us to carry on rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing these gorgeous creatures! It really does mean the world to us and we couldn’t do it without you!

And with that if you’d like to contribute towards our rescue work, please consider donating to our JustGiving page which goes straight towards the rescue and hospital costs!

We hope to see you soon!

With love from The Natureland Team
