Re:Too many lost? - 2008/03/16 21:06
I'd say that can be normal, depending on the hedgie. When Cotton was quilling, she'd lose about three here and there. When Noodles was quilling, it was about the same amount, but with Cocoa it's like being in the middle of quill wonderland, seriously. Neither Cotton nor Noodles lost quills like she does, and she's just finishing up too thankfully. When I first brought her home, I swear it was like she'd leave a trail of quills wherever she went. In the morning I'd check on her, lift up her sleeping hut, and there'd be like 20 quills just in her sleeping area from that night! I wouldn't be worried if I were you *unless* you begin to notice a concentrated area of quill loss that begins to look like a bald patch- that may be a sign of mites, and is certainly not normal just for quilling.
