The umbrella organization Hedgehog Aid Switzerland is currently working on setting up its own section in the canton of Zug. Schon bald entsteht hier die Webseite der Igel Hilfe Zug, die sich regional für verletzte und hilfsbedürftige Igel einsetzen wird.
Already supporting Hedgehog Aid Switzerland smaller aid organizations and private individuals in the canton of Zug with information material, advice and – if possible – with places in the hedgehog station.
Hedgehogs are an indispensable part of the ecosystem in Zug and the surrounding areas. They contribute to natural pest control and promote biodiversity. Unfortunately, as in Switzerland as a whole, they are increasingly under threat – due to the loss of their habitat, increasing traffic and the use of pesticides.
We are committed to supporting and protecting hedgehogs through our hedgehog station, information material, training and numerous other activities.
Whether you are looking for our hedgehog magazine full of helpful tips, information on hedgehog lectures or materials for school projects – we provide everything free of charge to promote the welfare of hedgehogs.
Igel-Hilfe Schweiz offers free hedgehog courses for veterinary practice assistants throughout Switzerland. These courses are specially tailored to veterinary practice assistants who want to familiarize themselves with the specifics of hedgehog care and acquire professional knowledge about the medical care and nursing of hedgehogs. Hedgehogs require special attention and expert care in veterinary practices, which is different from other wild animals – this is exactly where our hedgehog courses for veterinary practice assistants come in.
In our courses you will learn everything about the species-appropriate care and treatment of hedgehogs. We cover important topics such as correct feeding, stress management during treatment and recognizing typical diseases in hedgehogs. Our hedgehog courses are offered both at our hedgehog station and directly at your veterinary practice – we are active throughout Switzerland and will adapt to your location and schedule.
