Quilling is a natural process that occurs in hedgehogs where they lose their baby quills and replace them with adult quills. This process typically starts around 4 to 6 weeks of age and can last until the hedgehog is about 3 to 6 months old. During this time, you may notice your hedgehog becoming a bit more irritable or sensitive, as the quilling process can be uncomfortable. It's important to provide a stress-free environment and ensure they have plenty of soft bedding to help them through this stage. Additionally, providing a balanced diet rich in nutrients can support healthy quill growth. If you notice excessive quilling or any signs of distress, it's a good idea to consult a veterinarian to rule out any health issues.
