Two lambs and a ewe have caused havoc in a store in Somerset, England by trying to tuck in to a pile of a quarter of a million chocolate Easter eggs.
The animals were discovered at the Wookey Hole Caves by staff who reckon they were seeking shelter from the bitterly cold weather that gripped the country last week.
As a result of their foraging, thousands of chocolate Easter Eggs will have to be destroyed, leaving the popular tourist will a real headache ahead of this weekend's Easter Bank Holiday. Luckily the business has confirmed their suppliers have agreed to deliver a whole new batch to them in time for the expected busy period.
'The eggs were delivered at the weekend and somehow this ewe and her lambs got out of their usual accommodation and made their way in there' said a rather bemused Daniel Medley, General Manager of the store.
'We think it was a bit warmer in there or maybe the smell of the chocolate attracted them. It was pretty clear from the chocolate stuck to their wool who was responsible. There were pallets with 250,000 eggs on them and we believe a few thousand will have to be destroyed'.
The eggs had been purchased for an Easter egg competition that runs from March 30 to April 13 with every child able to win a selection of chocolate eggs.
