Brillo my 11 week old hedgehog is loosing a lot of quills as well as flakes that are similar to dandruff. Is it mites?
 
At 11 weeks, I'm thinking he's probably going through quilling - where his baby/child quills are being replaced by adult ones. Though flakey skin is something to be concerned about. Are the quills he's losing being replaced? Or is his quill coat starting to thin out?
