Our Permanent Fosters
Meet all our permanent foster hedgehogs at Happy Quills, whose journey to forever homes has led them to the loving embrace of dedicated foster carers. Please consider sponsoring these spiky companions to help play a vital role in ensuring their continued care and happiness. Your support can make a lasting difference in their lives at our rescue.
Forrest
Forrest arrived at Happy Quills September 2024. He is 5 years old and is currently living the life of luxury in London. We have heard on the grapevine that he might have secured a modelling contract with 'The Hog House' with his smouldering dark looks.
Forrest is a very active hog and has been running and snooping about from the get go. He adores his big new enclosure to explore. At night time he loves nothing more than munching mealworms and slurping soggy kibble.
Buttercup
Beautiful Buttercup joined Happy Quills 29/9/24. It quickly became apparent that she was suffering the effects of a serious hibernation attempt. Once recovered from the hibernation attempt she then showed some very worrying stressed behaviour. Due to her behaviour and a higher chance of repeated hibernation attempts, she has been kept as a permanent foster.
She has started to bond with her foster mummy, but is extremely distrustful of anyone else. If you would like to "Build Her Up, Buttercup" then she is available to sponsor now.
Polly Pocket
Polly Pocket joined Happy Quills 11/2/25. Polly was underweight at 290g due to dental issues, namely gingivitis, plus she had a lump in her mouth , which was confirmed as cancerous on 21/2/25. In a week she put on 35g. As she still is active and has proven herself to be a fighter, it was decided to remove as much of the lump as possible to give her some precious extra time.
She will remain as a permanent foster with Happy Quills . She will require medication for the rest of her life, and frequent vet check ups to watch her progress in order to let her lead her best life.
Hedgy
Joined Happy Quills 11/1/25. He was a teeny 280g, so his foster carer has been trying to fatten him up. He is also suffering severe dry skin which they are working on. Age not known, looking at variety of factors we estimate over 1 but no older than 2. Very friendly and trusting little guy. Loves making poo boots each night. Due to weight and skin issues Hedgy will be kept as a permanent foster.
