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.
On Sunday a stray stick insect was found in the Villocq area of Castel and is now at the GSPCA.
This is the first stray stick insect we have had on record at the GSPCA and we are currently appealing for anyone who has lost their pet insect to get in touch.
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."
"The stray stick insect is doing well and we have named him Stan."
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.
On Thursday last week a stray blue budgie was found on Ruette De Saumarez and is now at the GSPCA.
Each year we help dozens of stray pet parakeets, parrots and finches at the GSPCA.
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.

On Friday 9th September a Herman tortoise was been rescued in near the Princess Elizabeth Hospital.
He is now in the care of the Shelter in a pen under the care of the team at the GSPCA.
The team have named him 'Micky' and we are appealing for the owner to please get in touch.
During Spring and Summer the GSPCA often see up to 30 male stray tortoise, although we rarely see females that are lost.
Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said "Poor Micky the stray tortoise that arrived on Friday was found near the PEH."
Two stray corn snakes have been rescued and are now in the care of the GSPCA in the last two weeks.
Each year we help a small number of snakes that are found in gardens or on the road that have escaped from their owners.
The first was found near St Saviour's Reservoir nearly two weeks ago and another was rescued on Saturday in La Mare de Carteret.
Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said "Currently we have two stray snakes in our care 'Pollyana' who was rescued two weeks ago in St Saviour's and 'Boey' who is from La Mare de Carteret on Saturday."
