Welcome!

Here I share impressions and experiences from my voluntary work at the Vallstedt Hedgehog Rescue Centre

My hedgehog foster home has the german §11 permission of the animal welfare act and I have a certificate of competence for treating hedgehogs

About me

Donation

This work is a labour of love and is financed entirely out of my own pocket

The University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover has estimated the cost per single wild animal at more than €170.

In 2024, I took in care 70 hedgehogs.

In 2025, I took in care 110 hedgehogs.

Legally, the person who removes the animal from nature is also responsible for it. Foster homes are not obliged to take in hedgehogs

Please leave a donation at the hedgehogs foster homes so that this labour of love can continue!

How much does it cost to care for a hedgehog?

More information on this can be found on the page ‘Costs of a hedgehog’.
