That was very cute! He didn't look really poky- I've seen some with the quills dragging on the ground that I wouldn't want to pet, but that one looks more fluffy- as long as you have gloves on!

I wonder if his quills have been trimmed. Like trimming an artichoke so it won't bite when you eat it. O.o

He's very playful... ^____^

Can you de-spine a porcupine? That sucker was way bigger than I thought they were. O_o But he's so perky! And playful! And loves the whole petting thing! ^o^ I kinda want to pet one now...

I think they can trim the pointy ends but I doubt if they can trim all of them. That's probably why the guy has the gloves. I want to pet everything I see. ^___^ I wish I'd been better at math; maybe I'd actually be in a position to pet the cute furries. And get paid for it. ^___~

Seems I've seen pictures where the back end looks much... longer, so I wonder if you couldn't sort of get them to 'launch' them?

Ah, I know that one! ^___^ They don't really throw their quills; they just come out when they hook into something. Like a dumb dog poking his nose in for a quick hello. >.<

I wonder if the quills would hook into and come off for something like a blanket... O_o That would be cool. I should ask the next time I'm at the WAP (which is changing its name to 'Safari Park' =P).

I actually considered buying quills once, back in the days when I was into the indian bead-work. Was thinking about taking up quill work too... o_O

This one was on a friend's LJ the other day. My comment was, "Make friends with a porcupine, be prepared to wear gloves forever."

The little guy is just so adorkable! I love the spins. :D
