curved quills?

[pricklemouse]

I noticed the other day my little Alexandria has a few curved quills in her coat. They’re not bent or broken, just perfectly curved and randomly sprinkled throughout her quills (they’re all white adult quills too, not baby ones). Has anyone else seen this before? Any idea what might cause it? I’m just curious cause she has about 6-10 of them, while I haven’t ever seen curved quills on my other hedgies :confused:

(I don’t have pics of the curved quills yet, but here are some adorable pics of little alexandria :D)

I wouldn't worry about it. Hemi has a couple too, and she's perfectly healthy. I think it's something to do with how they lay when they're sleeping. Hemi sleeps on her side, and her bent quills are on the side she sleeps on.
