Stan may be safe at the GSPCA but it sounds like she is not the only Stick Insect in Guernsey

Submitted by Steve on 01:08, 10th Nov, 2016 | 0

Last month we had rescued what we thought was a stray stick insect found in the Villocq area of Castel.

We thought this to be the first stray stick insect we have had on record at the GSPCA and we put out an appeal for anyone who has lost their pet insect to get in touch.

As a result of the appeal we have had contact with those living in the area to say that over the last three years they have spotted the stick insects both in their garden and home of which the picture is one cheeky lady that was spotted in a bedroom in the Villocq area.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We help stray dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and other pets on a daily basis at the GSPCA but to have a stray stick insect being found and brought in is unique."

Stray budgie found on Collings Road now at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 22:51, 25th Oct, 2016 | 0

Yesterday a stray yellow and white female budgie was found on Collings Road and is now at the GSPCA.

Each year we help dozens of stray pet parakeets, parrots and finches at the GSPCA.

We now have two stray budgies in our care as just over a week ago a blue stray budgie was found on Ruette De Saumarez.

Sadly we rarely find the owners of the smaller birds and we are currently appealing for any information if you know of anyone that has lost a stray budgie.
