Ekornhjelpen is an animal welfare organization established in spring 2019, which focuses on rescuing and caring for squirrels. The organization is based on volunteer work and aims to provide help to squirrels that are sick or injured. Through guidance, they offer support to people who find squirrels, including information on how to determine age and gender, as well as advice on squirrel houses and cages.
In addition to guidance, Ekornhjelpen offers foster homes for baby squirrels that need extra care. The organization has extensive experience in caring for squirrels and emphasizes the importance of keeping the animals warm. They also emphasize that it is important to avoid giving food or water to squirrels before you have received guidance. Ekornhjelpen has committed squirrel helpers and foster homes all over Norway, and is registered in the Volunteer Register.
