Review: A durable toy - I bought this for baby grandson when he was 10 months old. He could just about place one of the spikes. Four months on he still loves it. He has not got the concentration to fit all of the spikes but it is good for hand eye coordination. We play feeding the hedgehog and the spikes have been used as pretend characters when he is playing with his vehicles. You can store the spikes in the toy so that the spikes don’t get lost. Nice quality plastic.
Review: Fab item - Great price for lovely toy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: are the quills rubber or plastic?**
A: The quills on mine are NOT rubber, but are a sturdy, hollow plastic. That being said, I'm sure a set of strong gums / teeth could make permanent indents in them because they are hollow. Each quill has a very tiny hole in each end (1.5 mm wide), probably for manufacturing purposes, but it's big enough that saliva or bathwater could get trapped inside and grow gunk if you aren't careful. Each quill is 3 5/8" long. The circular part that pokes into the hedgehog body is about 5/8" in diameter and slides 1" into the body. The ergonomic end for little fingers to hold is a 7/8" x 5/8" oval.

**Q: Is there a way to obtain replacement quills? We had emailed the listed address and the message was returned. Thank you!**
A: Also came here with the same question

**Q: How long can it be used?**
A: Love this toy my grandson does it over and over! Not only good for colors but also numbers and coordination

**Q: Is it good for travel?**
A: Yes, the spikes fit into the shell for easy storage. If planning to use in a vehicle or airplane I would suggest a travel tray.

My 2 year old loves this toy. I bought for a plane journey a few months ago. This kept her entertained for a long time. Good quality for the price. Great Colourful design. Opens up to store the ‘spikes’ making it easy to carry around and not worry about losing parts.
