Wat voeren stekelvarkens hun jongen?

Porcupines are herbivores, meaning they eat plants! They do not actually feed their young directly with chewed-up food like some mammals do. Instead, baby porcupines (called "porcupettes") learn to eat on their own.

What Baby Porcupines Eat

• Bark and twigs: A major part of their diet.
• Leaves, buds, and shoots: They snack on these too, especially during the growing season.
• Fruits and berries: They enjoy the occasional sweet treat.
• Roots and tubers: These provide important nutrients.

Baby porcupines start eating solid food within a few weeks of birth and fully wean from their mother's milk around three months old.
