The porcupine & ferret



Camera Critters

The other two animals brought in for the kids’ enjoyment were this ferret. Such a happy little guy!

And a porcupine. Such a cute face!

Treats helped him stay calm.

Check out the spikes left in the gloves!

The porcupine was pretty nervous and kept burrowing into the lady holding him.

It didn’t seem to stop the kids from petting him though.

I couldn’t resist petting him either. Felt kinda like petting a brillo pad.

    Just goes to show you that every living being needs to be loved. It's so cute how he's burrowing into the lady holding him. Cute photos...thanks for sharing:)

    Nice series of images, its comes a surprise to me as well that you can pet these cute animals. The incredible amount of spikes left on the gloves is wow.

    I've never touched a porcupine - but I've seen what the quills can do to a dogs nose.
    Do they have a stinky odor?

    How cool. Not my idea of the most cuddly pet but pretty cute anyway.

    Oh, these are great . I have looked at ferrets at the pet store and wondered how and why they are pets at all; your images show me another side. Very nice. Thanks, Lisa!

    Great photos - I love the porcupine!

    It looks so soft, but when you look at the "spikes left in the gloves" image, you know that it's not!

    Oh, they do have such cute faces. We won't be petting our porcupine any time soon. I must say, the temptation is there, but I am sure we would get a mitt full.

    How AWESOME! I've never seen a porcupine in person, before, so I wouldn't have been able to resist petting it either!
