Fun times in Abbeyfield

Funny bunnies in the park

On a sunny May morning pre-school Pitsmoor children were treated to a Ranger-led event in Abbeyfield Park. The aim was to let children meet each other and see and touch small animals. There was a bunny treasure trail and parachute games led by Ranger Jacquie Porter-Martin.

But the main event was a small tent where Ranger Rachael Kerr let children stroke two sociable rabbits, a surprisingly relaxed guinea pig and two bewildered chicks.

More events aimed at pre-school children are planned for the summer. I don’t know how much the animals enjoyed it, but the children certainly had a good time.
