Hazel is an adorable lil menace. I feel you baby girl, I get outta line when I’m hungry too 👹Wally is such good boy!!! For real though Miss Spike’s level of cuteness has been banned in several countries. Omg her little grabby hands and happy squeaks when you handed her the apple 😍🥰 That just sent me
Yeah. They spend a lot of time there, except Spike. She asks for her food to be placed on her table (it's an upside down plantpot and it's her favorite thing).
Wally is still reminding me of a hedgehog! It’s the quill and fur length and color, plus those few quills that stick up like spiked hair on his forehead. Man, he is a tank! I can’t believe he and the other babies were all born in the same season. It is so dang adorable when they sit up to take food from you and hold it in their little hands to eat. It’s remarkable how gentle and careful they are, and how generally they don’t want to fight. Argue, maybe ;) Like the day this was filmed, for instance. But even then, it’s mostly just squeaks and squawks. You can even tell them no and they don’t mind. I wonder how that works with porcupine parenting and socialization, training the pups to be safe and well-behaved given that they are covered in quills?
I'm really not sure how the parenting works. We've really only see a small amount between Spike and Squeak, and I don't think that's a great example because Spike is so young and I think she's not super great at being a mother. We did catch a video of Squeak cuddling with Spike and sort of burrowing into her quills, which I didn't think was even possible.
Very cute,they are very territorial when it comes to food too, but2mins is to long ya gotta be quicker than that or Hazel will bite Wallys nose off 😂❤❤ Spike is so cute sitting up eating the apple,just so unfair that ya can't hug those spikey furballs. ❤❤
Hazelnut seemed just be in a cranky mood as you noted. Maybe, she didn't like the other porcupine's standing so close. I'm sure where food is involved, it is easy for any of them to get touchy. They are lovely little creatures, but I would not want to pull one of those quills out of my skin. Hope things worked out!
I think she got in a little scuffle with George before the video. I think she might have been a bit on edge from that encounter. I put up a RUclips short that was recorded before this video where Hazel is sprawled out flat across three piles of peanuts, just to make sure George can't have any. It's kind of a funny video.
You have just made my day so a BIG Thankyou 😊 You are so lucky to have these beautiful animals coming into your backyard ❤ I'm in South Australia and we don't get a huge range of wild animals like this. I will have to visit your country at some point to see these amazing creatures in real life 😀💞💙
I love that you can just open your door and have so much wildlife munching right there, unafraid. Very very cool. I assume it took quite a while to get them to feel so comfy. Great job. Your porcupines seem smaller and somehow fluffier than those in my country (Hystrix Indica), who have really long quills.
Surprisingly not. They get friendly incredibly fast, and they just sorta keep showing up on my doorstep. So we had a friendly groundhog that lived here a few years ago, and I think he left happy groundhog scent markings everywhere. Because after Harley it was just like the flood gates opened. Every kind of rodent keeps showing up.
Their noises are so cute. Even their angry ones. If they did get in a fight, would they be able to hurt each other? Somehow they look like they are bluffing to me.
Most of it is a bluff. They do get into little scraps though. They sorta paw at each other. Pip is the worst. He jumps on Chonkers' head and scratches him. Chonkers is enormous and just picks him up and body slams him. Doesn't seem to stop him though.
@joels7605 it's allowed to feed wild animals in Canada? All this food can attract other wild animals like raccoons, fox, bears etc?. How that works? I was looking for a vídeo about porcupine and I found those. My brother in law's dog got attacked by one 😆 😆 but it seems they are not dangerous without feeling threatened .
@@ErikaCB. I think there are some restrictions on feeding nuisance animals. I live far away from other people, and the porcupines are not nuisance animals so I should be alright. There's a guy named James Blackwood who also lives in my province and feeds like a million raccoons every night. He has a RUclips channel and the raccoons just crawl all over him.
Wee Hazel taking none of IT!! I luv me some confident independent females, hehe .... very much what is known to be here in Canada. Guess true to form for critters too, haha. Oh unless *U KNOW WHO is around* *aka Big Daddyo Chonkers* !!
Soothing sounds for us humans . New subscriber, YT must have recommended your channel since I also follow Tulip the Beaver, Chunk the Groundhog and Megabattie, bat rescue in Australia. Love your channel already ❤.
If Hazel is cranky, could she be pregnant? They generally have one mate..or African ones do. Are these her offspring? If they are, then she's pulling a mom on them?😂
They've all been hard to recognize lately because their fur has changed with winter coming. But I think we can recognize Hazel. We're really not sure if Hazel is male or female. I think Hazel is female, but I'm just guessing.
Hazel is about to throw quills. Even their mad noises are adorable. It is bonkers they let you boop them.
Only the food bringer can boop, it's a well known fact!
I ❤'d both comments in this message thread and I agree with both!
💋Hazelnut💋 wants ALL the food...
Boop! 🌝
I don't think I'd dare to intervene in a fight between these adorable quill-pigs!!!
I love these guys. I love these guys! I will never tire of their little noises. 🥰
God they are so cute when they are grumpy with each other. ❤
Hazel quit getting greedy you share those peanuts with spike and Wally
They are going to be so fat, they won't be able to climb up a tree 😅

Even when they are angry they sound so cute. I so wish we had these guy’s where I live. 🙁
You have given them all the best life.
I hope so!
They're a lot of fun to watch. Looks like your welcome mat has become porky placemat.
Yeah. They spend a lot of time there, except Spike. She asks for her food to be placed on her table (it's an upside down plantpot and it's her favorite thing).

they need alot of room for hazel, LOVE their talking

These guys are just eating machines. Nothing distracts them from their fare.😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

best way to have your house eaten out from under you , attract porcupines lol---IYKYK

Drop me a line and you can come see them.

This is the first time I’ve seen them eat something besides peanuts

@joels7605 I would love to see that WWE Porcupine wrestling match 🤣 What would the porcupines’ wrestling names be?
Gonna have to get Chonker's anti-dance wall out.
I have a "bad porcupine box" now. It was mainly for Pip, but I think we may have some other volunteers.
Hazel is telling them "my eyes are up here"!
You are so lucky ❤❤❤
They're so adorable!
Reminds me of those Tribbles on Startek!
They're totally Tribbles.
I think the episode was called "The Trouble with Tribbles".😊
Love from a UrbanRescueRanch and Vaush fan!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
How long are you feeding them? Interesting that they are not afraid of you. 😅
Spike is about 2 years old. Hazelnut and Walnut are both less than a year. I think. Not 100% sure.

@joels7605 🤣😅😂 oh right I understood. I will take a look at his channel too, thanks.
They also love bell pepper and carrots 😄
Good info. We'll try that. Thanks!
get ears of fresh sweet corn they love it.
I'll try it. Thanks!
Wee Hazel taking none of IT!! I luv me some confident independent
females, hehe .... very much what is known to be here in Canada.
Guess true to form for critters too, haha. Oh unless *U KNOW WHO is around*
*aka Big Daddyo Chonkers* !!
No petting!!!!
I believe ANYONE would be Upset AND Irritable having to eat off the floor, no silverware, not even a paper plate!! Atrocious!!! 🥰

Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy the silliness.
@@joels7605 Thank you! I shared the video of Squeak falling off the deck with my friend, and she subscribed today too. 😊
Trouble in the hood!
Our porkys are non existant in my area. I miss seeing them, and roadrunners.
Best time of year, the porkys are putting on weight and they're sorts of fat n sassy for the upcoming winter season!🤗✌
That’s so cool that you live in a place that allows wildlife to be fed. It’s illegal here in California.
🤣 Hazel is crazy she wants to fight
everyone haha! Someone pissed her off before she got there...😅💞
Since nature seems to put the burden of being Attractive upon the males of the species, does Wally have quills that are "showier?"
I'm not sure. They're kinda shiny. I think Chestnut (female) has the most impressive fur. She could be in some sort of porcupine beauty pageant.
i wonder if you have visitors or delivery drivers stumble upon your critter family?
They usually scatter. They don't like strangers. Spike was around once (because I was there) when a delivery driver showed up though.
They do not “throw” quills
If Hazel is cranky, could she be pregnant? They generally have one mate..or African ones do. Are these her offspring? If they are, then she's pulling a mom on them?😂
Hazel is still very young. She's this year's baby. She (hopefully) won't have a baby until she's 2.
Hazel says all peanuts in the world is mine! 😅❤❤ Btw btw do you usually recognize Hazel? Also is Hazel a male or female?
They've all been hard to recognize lately because their fur has changed with winter coming. But I think we can recognize Hazel. We're really not sure if Hazel is male or female. I think Hazel is female, but I'm just guessing.
