Default Help!!! Wanted Porcupine

Hi,

I'm looking to get a porcupine. I am having trouble finding where to get one from. I really like the idea of getting an African Crested Porcupine, but we really don't have the space. Can anyone recommend a smaller, similar looking species and where to get one from? I'm based in Bucks, Uk.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ray

I know of a pair for sale but not cheap etc.

What do you know about them, what will the diet be off, and where will you be housing ?

It depends what type of porcupine they are. I am looking to keep it as an indoor pet, housed in an appropriate size cage. I am looking for a small breed as I don't have enough space to accommodate an African or Indian crested porcupine.
