A group of volunteers in Kuopio has helped nine young hedgehogs return to nature this spring. The Savon Animal Welfare Association receives donated nesting boxes and rags for caring for wild animals. This spring, they received fifty such boxes in Kuopio, which are immediately put into use for raising orphaned hedgehogs. Volunteers Sanna Aho, Tia Pennanen, and Nox Pennanen have been caring for eleven hedgehogs since early spring. Young hedgehogs are taken into care if they are found in nature and their mother does not retrieve them. Volunteers give the mother time to find her offspring before intervening. Nine hedgehogs have already been released back into nature, while two recent arrivals, Kaija K. Käpy and Jepu Neulanen, are still growing in their nesting boxes. The volunteers emphasize providing warmth, safety, and proper feeding for the young animals. As they grow, they are gradually introduced to solid food like nuts and fruits. Once they can move independently and eat on their own, they are ready to be released back into the wild. Most animals receive names to help caretakers identify and remember individual animals.
