Easter

The GSPCA has recently seen a huge rise in the numbers of rabbits coming into our care.

With 25 rabbits looking for new homes and many more coming in over the next few days Easter was certainly a busy time at the GSPCA for those that care for the rabbits.

Many of the GSPCA rabbits looking for homes are now outside on our Bunny Hop Hill and we are not only appealing for new homes for those in our care but we are also appealing for funds to help build new enclosures for the rabbits at the GSPCA.

Be aware this weekend you could be putting your pet at risk at Easter if you feed your pet chocolate intended for people or they manage to find those carefully hidden from the children.

Across the Bailiwick we are all stocking up Easter eggs and chocolate as gifts for family and loved ones, but the GSPCA has an important message for pet owners.

This Easter the GSPCA are once again holding special behind the scenes tours including an Easter treasure hunt and finishing with an Easter Egg Hunt where lots of prizes and chocolate can be won.

Taking place at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews 2pm each day between Wednesday 17^th April and Easter Saturday 20^th April places are limited and it is £20 per child or £17.50 with an Island Mums card.

Tours are a maximum of 20 children per tour, so please book early. 

Easter Sunday was an eggxtremely busy day for the GSPCA team as not only were there 500+ animals at the Shelter to care for we also had the biggest fund raiser of the year to date.

Island FM teamed up with Cooper Brouard to continue an exciting annual event and fundraiser over Easter with fantastic sporting activities with Outdoor Guernsey including; Archery, the Indoor Climbing Wall and High Ropes.

From the GSPCA we would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to all involved and supported an amazing Easter Event on Sunday.

The event was all thanks to Island FM who teamed up with Regency Bedding and created an exciting event and fundraiser to introduce Primary School Children to a fun afternoon of Taster Sessions of Alternative Sports and Activities with Outdoor Guernsey at Rue Maingy Activity Centre.

The Sporting activities included Archery, the Indoor Climbing Wall and High Ropes.

On Good Friday and Easter Saturday the GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne with the Easter Bunny held two fun events for groups of children with their parents.

With over 35 children taking part over the two days the families got to see behind the scenes at the GSPCA as well as learning all about rabbits and their care.

Each child on arrival received a Treasure Hunt bunny sheet, a lollipop, GSPCA sticker and pen.  They then had a picture with the Easter Bunny at the front of the Shelter before being shown around the site in St Andrews.

After sell out days at the GSPCA last year for our GSPCA Easter Egg, Bunny and Treasure Hunts we have dates planned for this month.

Children meet the Easter bunny and GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne before having a tour of many of the animals, but especially the bunny rabbits.

As the groups are shown around they have a treasure hunt to complete whilst learning all about rabbits.

After the tour the group arrive at the events room where after finding out the answers and receiving prizes they are issued with buckets for an Easter Egg Hunt.
