Several of our followers alerted us to an untrue post circling social media right now. The post states that if a porcupine has more than one baby, they will “cast the second born out, no matter what.”
It also states “They almost never leave their young on the ground alone”
This is very untrue. Porcupines rarely have more than one baby at a time, but on occasion they do. There is no proof that they cast the second baby out.
Porcupettes often wait at the bottom of trees for their mothers, when she is foraging higher up in the tree. Do not assume a porcupette found alone at the base of a tree is abandoned.
Posts like this gain a lot of attention and misinformation spreads quickly. It encourages well intentioned individuals to do things they think are helping but will cause great stress to the baby and incredible heartache for the mother.
To further disprove this, please observe the picture below. This was a mother porcupine that raised two babies. The second one wasn’t even hers. She adopted it when it was orphaned and raised the little one as her own.
The original post with misinformation was shared 35,000 times. We have some catching up to do to correct this. Please spread this post around so we can prevent the kidnapping of porcupettes from very loving and devoted mothers.
