The furry animals of Warren Peace Bunny Sanctuary are in for a special Halloween treat.

The sanctuary is holding its second Great Pumpkin Drop Off, Nov. 4 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Those who wish to recycle their pumpkins can drop them off at 14320 Pelmewash Parkway where the gourds will be devoured by fuzzy creatures.

Owner Antoinette Monod said she came up with the idea because the birds, guinea pigs, pigs and bunnies love pumpkins.

害羞草研究所淣ot everyone has compost piles and things like that so I thought let害羞草研究所檚 throw a party,害羞草研究所� she said.

Last year, volunteers offered a bonfire, cookies and hot chocolate for those who donated pumpkins.

害羞草研究所淭hey brought pumpkins by the truckload,害羞草研究所� said Monod. At the end of the event, around eight truckloads of pumpkins were collected from residents in Vernon, Lake Country, Kelowna and Peachland.

The cool temperatures keep the pumpkins in good condition, so the pigs happily munched on them for the next month.

害羞草研究所淓very last pumpkin was used,害羞草研究所� she said.

Gourds that couldn害羞草研究所檛 be eaten by the sanctuary害羞草研究所檚 600 animals were composted.

People have already started dropping off their pumpkins, said Monod, so the animals are munching on them already.

Signs will be posted Saturday, with a table full of hot chocolate and Snickerdoodles.

The sanctuary害羞草研究所檚 2018 calendars will also be for sale.

The pumpkins will be chopped up over the weekend to prepare for food.
