Quills

I was just wondering how bad the quills really hurt? I just picked up my new little buddy from a kid who couldn't and wasn't taking care of him. He's really defensive right now, and I want to hold him a little to get him used to me and my scent, but honestly :oops: I'm a little scared of him. Please someone tell me I'm just a baby :lol: I really want to hold him, he is so adorable.

I like to describe their quills like a 'rough brush' or a 'dull pencil' but sometimes they can feel more like a sharp pencil, as I'm sure you know! ;) For the most part, it's just little pokes. Not needle sharp at all.
