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.

Mikey

Due to his age, specific care needs, and disgruntled disposition, Mikey will remain a permanent foster, receiving essential care and support from sponsors to ensure he lives out his remaining years in a safe and loving environment.

Mikey arrived with terrible skin issues, but his foster carer lovingly restored him to peak health. He now likes to come to the edge of his viv for a little daily chat and is much friendlier than when he arrived at Happy Quills.

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.

Clio (The Clanger)

Clio (was Twinkle) joined Happy Quills 29/9/24. She was a teeny tiny 280g, but she has slowly being putting on some much needed weight in the loving care of her permanent foster carer. Not surprisingly, she has a crazy appetite. She does not like her wheel (older hogs can go off them) but whizzes around her viv doing laps instead (please note she is not displaying stressed behaviour) . Would you like to sponsor Clio  our resident little clanger?

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.
