That's an echinda, not a porcupine.

This is a porcupine:



Why anyone on this earth would think a porcupine makes a good pet is beyond me. The quills detach easily and are barbed, and embed themselves in skin quite easily. I can't wait to read future articles from a rash of UK citizens whose curious dogs' noses have been filled with quills. Good luck finding a vet over there to take them out!

They have socialized veterinary care too?
