Welcome to The Hedgehog Program!

We’re so glad you’re here. Whether this is your very first course with us or you’ve joined us before, you’re now part of a growing community of people who are passionate about understanding and caring for small insectivorous mammals.

In this course, you’ll learn through clear explanations, practical examples, and up-to-date research. Each lesson is designed to build your knowledge step-by-step, so you can feel confident in your understanding by the time you reach the end.

You can move through the lessons at your own pace; there’s no rush. If something is new or unfamiliar, take your time, review the material, and use the resources provided. Our goal is not just to teach you facts, but to help you apply what you learn in real life, whether you’re caring for an animal, supporting conservation, or simply expanding your knowledge.

At The Hedgehog Program, we believe that education leads to better care, stronger conservation efforts, and a deeper respect for the species we work with. By joining this course, you’ve taken the first step towards becoming a more informed and responsible keeper, advocate, or enthusiast.

So, take a deep breath, settle in, and get ready to explore. Let’s begin!
