On Monday starts Hedgehog Week and to kick off the awareness week the GSPCA have launched two competitions for those aged between 4 and 16 years of age.
With 200 to 300 hedgehogs rescued every year at the GSPCA we see all ages with a variety of health problems.
Sarah Ozanne Animal Care Assistant in the Hedgehog Unit said 'With Spring we see hedgehogs awake and starting to give birth.'
Due to demand during the first and second week of the Easter term at the GSPCA we will be running a series of open days.
During the two weeks we will have bric-a-brac to new goods on sale as well as refreshments, including hot drinks.
All going on in the Event and Training Room.
We are also arranging guided tours at 10.45am, 2pm and 3.20pm on certain days. We are asking for a minimum donation of £5 per person and £3 per child, or £15 for a family of four.

Yesterday 13 new students were trained in Dog First Aid.
With thousands of dogs kept as pets around the Bailiwick, yesterday the GSPCA held the second session with 13 new dog first aiders who spent the morning learning their ABC for dogs to what to do if their dog had a seizure.
The group enjoyed not only learning about what to do, but also got a chance to meet Mickey a Basset Hound who is at the Shelter and made a very good model and let those taking part find the heart beat.
Due to popular demand the GSPCA are looking to set additional animal first aid courses later in 2014.
