We are pleased to announce that Jethou Bumblebee is doing extremely well.
He has been on fish soup for the past few days and last night devoured his first fish all on his own.
His appetite has picked up and he is going through fish at a rate on knots. As such the GSPCA are appealing for fish so that we can meet his very hungry belly.
The GSPCA would also like to appeal for a new chest freezer to help store all of the fish he will require to get him back to health.
Jethou Bumblebee will be at the Shelter for at least a further 3 to 4 weeks to get him to a fit weight for transportation and for his chest infection to improve.
Geoff George Ambulance Collection Officer said 'We are pleased with his progress but he really has an appetite.'
'I've been feeding him every 4 hours from first thing in the morning until midnight every day.'
'Although Jethou Bumblebee is still not strong enough to travel to a rehabilitation centre in the UK he loves his food and we are asking for anyone that can help with fish to please get in touch.'
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'We have a fantastic video on youtube of Jethou Bumblebee eating his first fish on his own but we really need a good supply to keep him going and would love a new chest freezer to store the many fish we go through each month for the occasional seal, but also the many sea birds we get in to the Shelter.' 'If anyone can help then please call the Shelter on 01481 257261 or email me [email protected].'
'I would like to mention that we are hoping the chef's at the Soup Kitchen next Tuesday won't be serving seal soup but we may bring a sample for those that fancy it and ask all to spread the word of this wonderful fund raiser that benefits the GSPCA and Bridge2Sri Lanka/Haiti'
