The GSPCA is asking all rabbits to take great care as Rabbit Haemorraghic Viral Disease (RHVD2) variant 2 has been discovered once again here in Guernsey.
The fatal disease is a huge risk to unvaccinated rabbits and especially to those in outside enclosures.
Last year the GSPCA were in close communication with local vets and the States Vet after the disease was discovered for the first time in Guernsey which resulted in a number of deaths and many rabbit owners vaccinating their pets.
The GSPCA helps over 150 wild and domestic rabbits every year.
Last Tuesday the GSPCA held a special training session to help rabbit owners and professionals that work or care for bunnies due to the outbreak of RHVD2 recently.
The event was open to everyone and was completely free of charge and we saw representatives from local garden centres, owners and many of the GSPCA staff and volunteers
The training took place at 130pm on Tuesday 4th at the GSPCA with two key speakers.

We love to hear from animals that have been adopted from the GSPCA.
Yesterday we received this wonderful message from the owners of two rabbits adopted from the GSPCA last year:
We just wanted to send you an update of two bunnies we adopted in October. They have been re named Coco & Fudge (aka Madonna & Roulenska), we love them so very much and think they are very happy with us too! Lexi & Carrie xx
At the GSPCA we have nearly a dozen rabbits in need of homes some of which were at the Shelter when these two were in our care.
This morning a baby bunny has been rescued with a broken leg.
The young animal was found near Genats Estate in Castel and has just been to the vets to be seen what can be done to help this poor defenceless young rabbit.
GSPCA Ambulance Volunteer Warden Andrew Green rushed the injured bunny to the vets and thankfully despite his injury he has received initial treatment and has received treatments including pain relief.
The GSPCA are appealing for the owner to please call us on 257261 as soon as possible.
At the GSPCA we are currently inundated with rabbits looking for good homes and earlier this week we had a total of 42 in need.
Thankfully we have rehomed 6 in the last few days but we are appealing for forever homes for the many remaining bunnies.
Alice, Apple, Berty, Carlton, Celeste, Chance, Charlie, Christopher, Claudia, Eric, Finn, Friday, Honey, Huerbet and many more need your help.
Whether you are looking for a rabbit or can help spread the word of these lovely rabbits it would be hugely appreciated.
On Friday we asked for name ideas for 19 budgies and 6 baby bunnies that were coming in to the GSPCA Animal Shelter.
We decided to call the new budgies - Brandi Pansy, Carl Sweetpea, Clemantis Harding, Gary Lotus, Iris McQuillan, Isla Honeysuckle, James Jasmine, Jenny Petunia, Jess Dahlia, John Rose, Kay Camellia, Laura Carnation, Lilly Wilkinson, Poppy Cathcart, Rob Bluebell, Shuan Zinnia, Sophia Orchid, Tamara Daisy and Tulip Huston.
