隨著本港養刺蝟的人數愈來愈多，遺棄案亦隨之上升，
（寵物刺蝟在香港已經出現了超過二十年，
過去十年非正式統計每年最少存在過百隻刺蝟，
2017到2024年遺棄到本會個案超過170單。)
一班義工於2016年成立協會，
以救援被遺棄刺蝟及幫助有需要主人為目標，
希望可提供一個平台，
更有組織地幫助有需要的刺蝟和刺友。
隨著時日，本會亦注意到兩大問題:
1.大多數日常問題其實來自於主人資訊不足：
可能是未做足「功課」便開始飼養；
可能是資訊太多誤信坊間謠言；
2.未能幫刺蝟維持「個人(刺)」衛生：
留意到很多主人礙於刺蝟的脾氣和特性，
和部分主人因個人原因(例如視力不良或未有信心處理)
故此本會獸醫護士決定定期開設不同「刺蝟課堂」,
包涵了養刺蝟的注意事項及要點，
還有如何為刺蝟進行日常護理，
手把手教主人如何適當地處理小動物的需要
從教育提升動物福祉及生活質素。
本會亦定期伸出援手，提供護士護理服務，
令處理不到刺蝟基本衛生的主人有個出路。
為了提升刺蝟在香港的福祉及生活質素，
我們理解到必須令大眾更加認識刺蝟
過去榮幸獲得二十個不同媒體關注刺蝟，
亦定期到不同學校及機構進行講座，
除了講解有關刺蝟相關亦會講解動物福祉及權益，
最近融入動物輔助治療元素，
希望有更多刺蝟及主人受惠、
一般市民能接觸到新奇的小動物、學生情緒亦可以在這得到片刻舒緩。
About US
As more and more people keep hedgehogs in Hong Kong, cases of abandonment have also increased.
( Pet hedgehogs have been available in Hong Kong for more than two decades. In the past ten years, unofficial statistics indicate that there have been at least a hundred hedgehogs stay in HK each year. From 2017 to 2024, our association received reports of more than 170 cases of abandonment.)
A group of volunteers established the association in 2016 with the goal of rescuing abandoned hedgehogs and helping owners in need. We hope to provide a platform and a more organized way to assist hedgehogs and their owners.
As time goes by, this association has also noticed two major problems:
1. Most daily issues stem from the owner's lack of information.
This may result from starting to breed without doing enough "homework" or
from being overwhelmed by too much information, leading to the belief in misconceptions.
2. Many struggle to maintain their hedgehogs' "personal (heggie)" hygiene due the animals' temperament and characteristics.
Some owners have personal issue, such as poor eyesight or a lack of confidence in handling their pets.
To address these issues, our exotic veterinary nurses decided to offer different "Hedgehog Classes" regularly.
These classes cover precautions and key points for raising hedgehogs, as well as daily care.
We teach owners step-by-step how to properly handle the of small animals, improving their welfare and quality of life through education
The association also regularly provides nurse care services to help owners who struggle with basic hedgehog hygiene.
To enhance the welfare and quality of life for hedgehogs in Hong Kong, we recognize the importance of raising public awareness. Therefore, we regularly visit different schools and institutions to give lectures. In addition to discussing hedgehogs, we also educate about animal welfare and rights.
