About Us
The Hedgehog Oasis is dedicated to researching the behavior of wild hedgehogs in an urban setting. The lovingly cared-for hedgehogs are fed high-quality kitten food during unfavorable climatic conditions and monitored with a wildlife camera to gain valuable insights into their behavior and health. This allows us to provide rapid assistance if we encounter a sick or injured hedgehog at the Hedgehog Oasis.
With this documentation and practical tips on caring for and rescuing hedgehogs in distress, we want to help ensure they receive the best possible support locally. Unfortunately, hedgehogs have been on the red list of endangered species since 2025.
Our projects

Studying Hedgehog Behavior

02
Feeding and observing
By describing the care and observation of our spiky friends, we would like to bring you closer to the world of hedgehogs and raise your awareness.

Helping in emergencies
In the case of injured or needy hedgehogs, we are here on site to provide our wild friends with the necessary support and care.
