This week at Myerscough College, students got hands-on experience as part of their Animal Care course – and what a fantastic time it was! From walking animals to preparing meals and cleaning enclosures, learners developed essential practical skills while bonding with a variety of furry friends.
The collage shows students confidently walking animals, gently handling a ferret, preparing food, and caring for guinea pigs in clean, enriching environments. These activities help students build key skills like:
-
Animal handling and welfare
-
Feeding and nutrition preparation
-
Cleaning and hygiene of animal enclosures
-
Observation and care routines
-
Communication and teamwork
The sunny weather and friendly atmosphere made it the perfect day for learning outside the classroom. Myerscough’s hands-on approach is clearly helping students grow in confidence and care – both for animals and in their own abilities.
Well done to all involved! ????????????
