Introduction to Hedgehog Care

by | Jan 2, 2026 | 2 comments

Are you keen to get involved with helping our prickly friends?

Hedgehogs are one of the most common animals admitted into wildlife rescues in the UK. Although they’re easy to pick up, they’re certainly not easy to care for and have lots of little quirks. This course is designed to talk you through the basics of hedgehog care, including telling you a bit more about what they do in the wild and how that can impact the care you provide.
