Is it normal for 2-3 month old hedgehogs?

to shed their quills?
Answers:
Spines normally come out when a hedgehog sheds baby spines and replaces them with adult spines around the first year. When under extreme stress or during sickness, a hedgehog will lose spines.
probably. quilled animals tend to shed allot, thankfully porcupines do to. since when can you own a hedgehog. never knew you could buy them
Yes, they can shed their quills up to one year old and sometimes every now and then after that.
