The umbrella organization Hedgehog Help Switzerland is currently in the process of setting up its own section in the canton of Schwyz. The Igel-Hilfe Schwyz website will soon be launched here, which will in future provide regional support for injured hedgehogs and those in need of help in the canton of Schwyz.
Already supporting Hedgehog Help Switzerland smaller aid organizations and animal lovers in the canton of Schwyz with information material, specialist advice and – if possible – with places in the hedgehog station.
These animals make a significant contribution to the ecological balance by regulating pests and promoting biodiversity. However, they are increasingly under threat from traffic and pesticides.
With our hedgehog station, advice and information work, we are actively committed to their protection.
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.
