Ian (Thorpe) has been making good progress and we decided to move him from a hospital box to a small pen with carer Brooke. The cold air was a worry and why he was kept indoors but he has regained a lot of strength and his lungs sound good. Now he will be able to move around without tiring himself too much and the most exciting thing is he started eating on his own. It will only be a few days I think then we can take him back to his territory. He is doing amazing. Thank you Brooke for the photos
