I don’t think people realize just how darn cute these things are. Their faces so expressive just such a cool little animal.
If you know people you learn to love the animals ....
Skunks, even babies, do this little foot stamping move thats pretty funny looking.
Uh yeah they DO!
I rescued a porcupine here in Wyoming. It's mother had been run over.
I raised it on my place. We took it with us into the woods several times, but it showed no inclination to leave.
We eventually gave it to the Earthfire Institute in Teton Valley. It's a wildlife sanctuary with a mission of education.
That porcupine spent the rest of its life visiting grade school classes around the County. Next time I saw it it was huge, and friendly.
We named it Spike. For years afterward we found quills in the house.
Thank you for not forcing it out in the Wild to have to fend for itself and be at risk of many dangers.
That’s the softest looking porcupine I have ever seen
Ya know, I was thinking the same thing, but there's no real way to find out, I guess...lol.
Probably because she was still a baby here, so still soft and mushy
I think it takes a special kind of strength to be able to love and care for a precious animal and put them in the dangers of the wild. In many cases, in today's world there is no choice for the animal, or the human. In this case it is clear the little one wanted to go which is good.
Absolutely, it's a bittersweet decision to release an animal into the wild after caring for them. While it can be difficult, it's often the best option for their long-term well-being and natural instincts. It's heartening when the animal shows signs of readiness and willingness to return to its natural habitat. Thank you for understanding the complexities of wildlife rehabilitation. 🌿🦔
You did a great job. Really nice video quality as well. Wonderful.
Love the story & watching Jude flourish under Aimee’s loving care❤
i had one on my old property. my 2 pugs and him(?) got along so well he wouldnt even toddle off when they were out. theyd come sniff him from a few feet away and hed kinda look ate em as if to say hi and then theyd ignore each other.
i named him "lester"
gave him some veggies i had left over from time to time.
never tried to touch him or interfere with him.
miss the little nugget..
What a lovely bond between Lester and your pugs! 🐾 It's heartwarming to hear about the peaceful coexistence they shared. Lester sounds like a special part of your old property, leaving cherished memories behind. 🌟🦔
Bless ya lady. Not a lot of people would take in a porcupine.
So will she survive just being set free like that? My first reaction is eff the state and their state rule. But what do I know? I’m from Hell’s Kitchen NYC. I Don’t know anything about animals except I love them.
I was curious about this too.
It's completely understandable to have concerns about Jude's release. While state regulations are in place to protect wildlife, the transition to the wild can be challenging for rehabilitated animals. However, wildlife rehabilitators like Aimee undergo extensive training to prepare animals for release, and they do their best to give them the skills they need to survive. Let's hope for the best for Jude's journey back into the wild! Your love for animals is what matters most. ❤️🌿
@@CuddleBuddiesChannel That’s why I said “but what do I know”. I’m pretty sure someone like her would do everything she could do. Let’s face it, the fact that she rescues animals is a testament to her good morals in my book. It’s when I hear “the state made a new rule”. That automatically makes me perk up. There are so many cases of bureaucratic incompetence and petty tyrants that don’t exactly line up with a free society.
I can understand why they have that rule though. A lot of people would capture wild animals just for the novelty and not care for them properly like this lady did. When I was a teenager, this jerk in my neighborhood found a big gopher tortoise in the woods behind our neighborhood and took it home to sell it. My father snuck into his yard, took it and put it back in the woods.
Is NYC getting worse like they say or is it not like they say? I know it's off topic. I was in NYC around 10 years ago and I liked the place. Im thinking about going again. I'm hoping that it hasn't changed. Thank you
lol, "Jude" the porcupine! I think that's funny because my name is Jude too 😉😊
Hey Jude, lol
@@up0820 Yup, I hear that every day of my life, 😜hehehe
June is going to be shocked when she finds out there's No free room service in the forest.
Or fruit bowls
Nursing human babies can be painful when they start teething. But porcupines have QUILLS. Ouch! Maybe that's why the mom disappeared up a tree. (Kidding of course.) I'm so glad you gave Jude the start she needed in life. Well done.
Haha, indeed, those quills would make teething quite the challenge! 😄 Thank you for your kind words and support for Jude's journey. 🦔💕
This is just awesome!! Aimee and Jude are a Match Made In Heaven!! This is simply breathtaking!! We all need friends like this!! The world would be a much better place!! Thank You!!
Absolutely breathtaking indeed! 🌟 Aimee and Jude's bond is truly heartwarming, showing us the beauty of friendship between humans and animals. Thank you for appreciating their special connection! ❤️🦔
@CuddleBuddiesChannel They have a bond that is completely unbreakable!! Thats just amazing!! Thank You for sharing all of these great stories!!
Well done best of luck ❤❤❤
Thank you for doing what you do to help these precious creatures! 💕
They really are cute
Cute little rodent face
Never saw a porcupine close up until now. Adorable, just adorable. Really cute. Still need to be careful due to spines on them.
Porcupines are indeed fascinating creatures! 🦔💕
I love humans who truly love animals,,,,wild or domesticated.....and leav3 wild on3s alone,unl3ss need our help..
VERY CUTE AND FUNNY!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! I love this! Love to you both!
Such a sweet story. Thank you ❤❤❤
PRAISE JESUS for ALL of HIS Beautiful Creations, like Jude!!! xoxoxoxo
Jesus is not god.
@@louie24seven They get mixed up because they pray to him and see him as somehow the same as his Father
@@Valkonnen jesus was great but he literally didn't create anything. He just lived a perfect life.
AMEN! All of God’s creation is beautiful. And Jesus IS God in human form and the Holy Spirit is God being able to live IN us. Think of it like this: You may be one person, but you have different roles for different purposes … you can be a son, a husband, and a father, all in one. But, each of those roles requires a specific kind of relationship different from the others…
Very cuuuuute 🥰 thank you 🙏
Okay, this is too cute.
They are funny animals. 😄
Didn't know they were so agile with their little monkey arms!
You can't deny that heartwarming feeling!! 💯🥰💞😍
very cute very funny ❤❤❤❤
They make little Ugg noises. ❤
Lovely video.
I was waiting throughout the whole video for her to say "hey' Jude", don't make it bad, don't be afraid.
🤧 aww she's super gorgeous, bless you for saving her and getting her back on her feet. Cracking good video thanks for sharing 🖤😎👍
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊❤️ It means a lot to us. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the video. Jude is truly special, and we're grateful for the opportunity to share her story. 🦔💕

Aw, thank you so much for your kind words! 😇❤️
Such a darling. I wish we could cuddle porcupines. I think they would love it!
The world needs more people like you 🐾❤️
❤❤
Jude looks like a big brown beaver to me...
She adorable!! What a fun personality!!
"Maybe some earplugs..." Hilarious!!
❤❤❤
So glad she got to go back into the wild!
You did the selfless act of care towards a wild animal! She is absolutely adorable, I am glad you had that time with. Maybe somebody she will have babies being them to you. We a racoons that we fed. She trusted us so much she brought her little babies to come say hi. That's trust. One of daughters brought us her babies, and so on. We have seen three generations.
God surely bless you for helping her ❤
Man these things are SOME cute
I had no idea how cute a baby porcupine was.❤
🥰🥰🥰
Jude is soo Adorable!! ❤
💗💗💗😍😍😍🌌🌌🌌🐾🐾🐾
What a lovely girl ❤!
Bless your soul Aimee
Aimee I knew this was you! You are the best!❤
There's a video of one eating an apple and the little sounds of appreciation are hilarious, it sounds like yum yum..
Awwwwwwwwww & how sweet ❤ 🥰 😍
The only wild animal that has ever attacked me was a large male Porcupine. They swing their tail like a club and this one just mised my leg and left spines in a tree. They can be very agressive.
It sounds like you had a scary encounter with a porcupine! They can indeed become defensive if they feel threatened, often using their tail as a defense mechanism. It's important to give them space and respect their natural behaviors when encountering them in the wild. Stay safe out there! 🌿🦔
@@CuddleBuddiesChannel
There waas a pair tearing-up an apple tree and I used a pole to encourage them on their way. The female crossed the fence, but the male turned and stood his ground at the fence line.
some great people in the world too...thanks
I ❤ porcupine their so cute 🥰
I volunteered at a rescue shelter and we had a few porcupines and they are very docile animals that would just perch themselves on a branch and sleep. I could only pet their nose since you be covered in quilts lol
Awwww!!!! Are there other juvenile porcupines that can go in there with her so she'll have company? She's adorable you guys have done a beautiful job!
They are so cute.
❤️
Jude! What are ya doin! MOOP MOOP MOOP.
Cute sweet porcupine
What an awesome story!
Hey Jude😂
So cute! 🥰
This lady should be there ! where I came from lot of nosy dogs were blind…
HECK YES!
Sweet baby 😊
Jude is so cute and loveable and bless your heart for rescuing and looking after her 😻❤️❤️! I do have concerns about her being released out into the wild but I just hope that she is thriving well out there somewhere! Do you know what happened to the mother or where she went at all?
So CUTE!!! Too bad you cant actually cuddle with her tho 😂
Good Job!
Good save
Hey Jude.
There should not be a set date . It should depend on if they are able to be released back into the wild safely. But thank you for all you did for her ❤
Spiky guinea pig😊🥰
That's a crazy law. The caregiver should be able to keep them for their full lifespan especially if they are not causing harm to others.
In some cases these animals are no longer able to live in the wild since they become more domesticated.
This particular porcupine probably would have died if she didn't care for it. She devoted her time and funds and now she is forced to set it free in the wild. Hmmmmm
Oh well, still a great story and such a sweet lady. 👍
Your perspective raises important points about animal welfare and care. Aimee's dedication to Jude's well-being is truly heartwarming. Thanks for recognizing her kindness! ❤️🦔
@@CuddleBuddiesChannel You're very welcome. I'm sure laws vary from state to state. Remind me where (what state) yall are located. I'm in Alabama.
Best wishes to each of you and all you do for God's lil creations.
OH those porcupine sounds! I only recently found out about that...watching the TH-cam channel "The porcupine whisperer"...a couple who get house visits from about 6 or 7 porcupines at all hours of the night.
They walk right in, and make those adorable little honks if food doesn't appear quickly enough.
You and Jude are so sweet…!!!
Thanks for helping the precious baby…!!!
Hope she is doing well..!!
Maybe she will come back and visit…💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋
This is so sweet. Thanks for helping Jude.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I see them in the Flagstaff area in summers
I'm guessing they aren't much when it comes to cuddling? Assuming that's a fact, how awful if for whatever reason, we owned one that cannot be released back to the wild, but are unable to so much a touch such a delightful animal.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I had no idea that porcupines can climb trees 😮. I grew up in Africa and can't remember ever seeing one or hearing of them climbing trees. Maybe they're quite different to the ones in the USA?
It's amazing how diverse animal behaviors can be! 🌳 Porcupines in different regions might have unique habits. Nature always has surprises in store for us! Thanks for sharing your perspective! 🌍🦔
Porcupines are adorable and these a lot of different kinds! But I always tell my rescues to stay away from humans!
🌞Jude's a sweet vegan !? 🥦

You should get together with another person nearby so you can follow the letter of the law while getting around it. You (or they) keep the rescue for 180 days, then transfer to them (or you) for another 180 days.
Those kinds of stupid state laws regarding wildlife need to be DISREGARDED. You should do whatever you need to do to protect a rescued animal. And if you raise it from a baby and it is imprinted on you, keep it! It will be much more safe and healthy, and THAT should be the goal.
I really hope she doesn't run into people out there that will hurt her since she got used to being around humans just saying people are more of a animal than the animals are sometimes
How can she fend for herself after being fed and protected for 6 months?
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

¿Por qué no está dentro de casa? ¿Hay algún problema?
does anyone know how long they live
Uneducated crowd: «Humans have a lot of things to learn from animals !»
Reality: The mother abandoned her baby... Humans saved her lovely child.
I don't know about the cuddle buddy thing for this one...
I would like to add that I disagree with the time limit on how long she would be able to keep the animal. With such an awesome keeper and the top notch enclosure... I think the woman should have been granted full custody of "Jude" for her entire life. She was granted the animal as an infant... So it really grew up with her HUMAN mommy. Letting it go into the wild was wrong in this case. The state should re evaluate their ideas.
This release was a death sentence. From early baby this animal learned nothing about surviving in the wild, where there is food or water, what type is safe to drink.....animals don't just figure it out.loke that in the wild when separated by parents.
Should have fought that new law.
Horrible!!!! Horrible!!
Screw you , I'm keeping her .
WHY IS SHE IN CAGED.?!!??!!
