The umbrella organization Hedgehog Help Switzerland is currently in the process of setting up its own section in the canton of Jura. The website of Igel-Hilfe Jura will soon be launched here, which will in future be committed to helping injured and needy hedgehogs in the canton of Jura.
Already supporting Hedgehog Help Switzerland smaller aid organizations and animal lovers in the canton of Jura with information material, specialist advice and – if possible – with places in our hedgehog station in Niedergösgen.
These nocturnal animals contribute to the ecological balance, but are increasingly endangered by traffic and environmental toxins.
Our hedgehog station, information services and awareness-raising campaigns help to protect hedgehogs and preserve their habitats.
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.

Hey! Nice of you to drop by.
We’re currently launching our heart project “Christmas miracle for hedgehogs” on Lokalhelden.ch – and we need you for it!
Injured, weakened or orphaned hedgehogs are found every day in Switzerland. We rely on support so that we can provide them with medical care, bring them through the winter and later release them back into the wild.
👉 With your contribution, you are giving a little spiky hero a real Christmas miracle.
Would you like to help?

💛 Thank you – on behalf of all hedgehogs!
