I knew nothing about this particular animal until I saw your close ups.They are lovely guys and gals arn't they? Thankyou for giving them a helping hand 😊
This would have to be the cutest videos I have seen in a long time, I’m a massive animal lover but being Australian we don’t see this everyday, I even think our echidnas are endangered 🙁 thank you so much for sharing squeak and spike ❤ I have subscribed 🥰
Thank you! We have a whole family of these guys that visit every day, and we're constantly putting up silly porcupine videos. I think there's about 500 of them now. They're all so cute and have such different personalities. Quilbert talks up a storm, so that's always good for a laugh.
@@joels7605 As someone who also feeds the various wild animals around where we live, I can concur that telling them apart is extremely difficult sometimes, lol.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHH 🥰That lil Squeak...Pokie is being such a good boy not fussing at Squeak!! So sweet...and "pokie"!! Hopefully Spike comes soon, Squeak needs his Momma!!
This almost made me cry seeing Squeak trying to nurse the little stuffie. I wonder if there could be something wrong with Spike’s milk? And maybe that’s why Squeak was nursing from Chestnut? (Bless your little heart Chestnut, for giving Squeak some milk) Or maybe Spike was just too young to be a mother? Honestly I was shocked that she had a baby. I didn’t think she was old enough.
I think we were more worried than we needed to be. We first saw Squeak on August 8th, so even if she was born that night she's at least 3 weeks old. From what I'm seeing online, by two weeks north american porcupines mostly eat vegetation and only nurse occasionally. We'll be keeping an eye on them and we do have a wildlife rescue close by, but I think Squeak was just born later than the other three babies (not surprising, Spike only turned 1 this spring, so it kinda makes sense that she was the last to get pregnant. We weren't expecting her to have a baby this young either.) She's very active (probably a good sign) and I think she's just driving Spike a little insane by constantly climbing on her. She also likes to taste the other porcupines' faces and the next youngest baby (Pip) has tried tasting Squeak's face too.
@@Forest_Friend okay that makes me feel much better, knowing that at two weeks most babies have moved on to vegetation. Squeak is just soooooo tiny that I worry about her. She’s so little! I worry about Spike as well, being so young herself and having a baby. It’s odd that Squeak was born so much later than the other three babies, who all look to be about the same age and roughly the same size. Next to them, Squeak is like a sentient dust bunny.
@@joels7605 I don’t have a single, solitary doubt that Squeak and every other forest critter you guys take care of are in the absolute best hands. It was just so pitiful to see tiny little Squeak trying to nurse that stuffed animal that it got away with me.
@@suzannahjohnson6879 We do still have some concerns about her just being born late in the year, but we're happy to supplement her feeding and if it seemed like she wasn't big enough getting closer to winter, we'd check in with Hope For Wildlife on whether it would make sense for her to winter with them. (This is also part of why we keep putting the stuffie next to her, I'm trying to gauge her growth.) I'm still floored that they're so independent at 2 weeks. But also, it's not like we see what her and Spike are up to 24/7. For all I know, Spike fed her just before arriving and Squeak was interrupting Spike's turn to eat.
São lindos demais! Na minha janela vêm vários e, coloco bananas, amendoins, mamão também. Eles comem tudo! Mas, se abro a janela de correr, que faz um barulho, eles morrem de medo e fogem. só que fogem assim devagar, devagarinho 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yes Spike has been here lots. She's doing fine. Squeak disappeared Tuesday night and we're worried. We've been looking and calling but we can't find her. I hope she shows up.
We're kinda in the middle of nowhere with a water source in the backyard. Plus, it seems that once you make one animal friend, the others are more trusting.
It is her mum. I made a mistake. There are two porcupines that look very similar. Spike (the mother) and Pokey (not the mother). I thought this was Pokey coming for a visit. Nope. It was Spike.
They love apples too. I feed my porcupines apples, acorns and berries. They are cute little things. ❤ Did you find his mom? Poor thing, he must be so hungry 😔
It turned out that it was the mom in the video. She looks a LOT like one of the others, named Pokey (there's 12 in total, and with each new one, it gets a little bit harder to tell them apart). Spike and Pokey have a similar crew cut hair style. We should've figured it out, but Spike also usually whines if we don't feed her at her 'table' (an upside down plant pot). We have a few that absolutely love Gala apples (and are weirdly picky about apple type). What kind do yours like? We tried acorns last year (no oak trees near us, so that was a trip to the park) and one absolutely loved them, for all of one day. Also, what kind of berries?
Just chanced upon your video, & can't tell if those are raw or roasted peanuts the porcupines are munching on. I feed wild squirrels in the winter, & just found out recently that raw peanuts can be poisonous for rodents. Sweet potatoes too, I just discovered today. Thought I'd leave the info here for you, from an extremely reputable seed company, & scientific studies are also available online. My apologies if this is a review of info you already know. Sweet little creatures who come visit you, we're so lucky when wild animals chose to trust us. Cheers! "Feeding raw peanuts to squirrels and other animals can have serious consequences. The results can even be fatal if peanuts compose a large and constant part of the diet. Peanuts are a legume, not a true nut, and when raw they contain a trypsin inhibitor, a substance that inhibits or prevents the pancreas from producing trypsin which is an enzyme essential for the absorption of protein by the intestine. While the exact relationship between the trypsin inhibitor and malnutrition in rodents is not fully understood, the detrimental effects have been documented since 1917. Thus squirrels fed a steady diet of raw peanuts could easily develop severe malnutrition, and works such as The Backyard Naturalist by Craig Tufts specify the use of roasted peanuts. According to the Washington State Cooperative Extension Service, roasting hulled raw peanuts for twenty to thirty minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring them frequently, will destroy the trypsin inhibitor and render the peanuts suitable for use as feed. Similar cautions also apply to the use of sweet potatoes and to other raw legumes such as soybeans which are sometimes recommended as food for squirrels and which contain trypsin inhibitors." Cooking sweet potatoes destroys the trypsin inhibitor & makes them completely safe for our wild animal friends to eat.
I am honestly very upset seeing this. Spike is not responding to Squeaks' needs. I think squeak has been rejected by her. Seeing the baby struggling trying to eat huge peanuts has been concerning me. I don't believe he is getting enough nutrition. To watch him trying to nurse a stuffed animal is heartbreaking. Maybe he can eat peanut butter better??? I know nothing about porcupines. Sorry, I feel so helpless. Your idea of getting formula is a very good idea. 😥😰
We're a bit worried too. Squeak is getting a bit bigger, and is very active, but Spike seems to ignore her. We give her peanuts, apple slices and sweet potato and she'll eat a little bit of each, but she needs her mother's milk. I think we'll probably get a bottle and see if we can do better.
I think we were more worried than we needed to be. We first saw Squeak on August 8th, so even if she was born that night she's at least 3 weeks old. From what I'm seeing online, by two weeks north american porcupines mostly eat vegetation and only nurse occasionally.

She also likes to taste the other porcupines' faces and the next youngest baby (Pip) has tried tasting Squeak's face too.
My cat's mom headbutted her way into my house when I was younger. She had two kittens and was pregnant with my future cat and his sister. When she had the next batch of kittens, the older ones were still trying to nurse from her and she'd whack them away with her paw (which she needed to do because they were getting too old to nurse and they were taking the younger kittens' milk. She also used to get fed up with mothering and one time we heard high-pitched squealing in the living room and rushed downstairs to find she'd left the youngest kittens by themselves in the middle of the room to go take a nap by herself in the basement. The kittens' eyes weren't open yet and they were hobbling around blind, looking for their mom. I thought it was heartwarming though, because it meant she thought her kittens were in safe hands with us! Sometimes mothers just need a bloody break.
@@SchlichteToven I think this is pretty inline with what's happening. I was more worried before I found out that porcupines get weaned so quickly. I never would have guessed that they're only occasionally nursing at 2 weeks (and Squeak's been visiting for 3 weeks)
@@Forest_FriendThat's a relief (and quite surprising) , so good you also have a rescue nearby to ask for advice perhaps - thank you for updating us! We've all become quite invested in little Squeak ☺️
Squeak is fine, and you're correct that's her mom, Spike. We've got a dozen porcupines who visit regularly and Pokey and Spike look a lot alike. They both sort of have a crew cut hairstyle. Spike usually whines if we don't feed her at her table (an upside down plant pot) but I guess she was hungry enough here that she didn't care. We put an editor's note at the beginning, but I think maybe we should have just disabled the audio, because we did think at the time that something was wrong. They've both visited since, both of them are fine and we were surprised to learn that at 2 weeks, north american porcupines only rarely nurse. This video was from 3 weeks after we first saw Squeak, so she also isn't nearly as dependent on her mom as we thought.
The big one is named Spike, she's the mother of the tiny little spicy dustball who is named Squeak. So Spike looks A LOT like another porcupine named Pokey. I thought I was dealing with Pokey at the beginning of the video, but I was mistaken. It was in fact Spike.
@@julieswiss1 Spike is super nice. She's just so friendly and cuddly, even though she's wild. But she looks exactly like another porcupine called Pokey.
Such a shame they're not as huggable as they look.

If you dont see its mom i would call wild life or he may not make it but thats just my guess.
