Re: Here a quill, there a quill... I believe that hedgehogs normally lose up to five quills a day. Next time you see a quill check to see if it has a root or bulb attached if it does the quill was lost naturally. If it does not it may have been lost due to a parasite. Hope this helps!

Re: Here a quill, there a quill... Quills are modified hairs, and they're dropped in small amounts throughout a hedgehog's life, the same as we lose hairs. A few here and there, even a few a day, is perfectly normal. |

Re: Here a quill, there a quill... my guy has lost a quill here and there... no biggie. i think if it's a lot of quills is when it's an issue. |

Here a quill, there a quill... Hello all! New hedgie owner with tons of questions! We just "adopted" a hedgie with not a ton of info on his history -- aside from that he is a male about 2 years old. We've had him only for a week. He's lost two quills in the past week (found them in the sleeping bag I made for him). Is this just stress related? Normal? I don't see any mites, but I can't say he relaxes enough for me to get in there and really look just yet. Thanks! |
