I'm in Texas temporarily permanently gasp

I got to train a porcupine today. SCARY. AS. HELL. And I was working on something scary too. He was pulled from shows for eating his crate (they're making a new one) and he's just been given his diet in his enclosure for weeks, so he doesn't follow people as well anymore, and he found out that there's acorns in the back and totally bolts out into the park to eat acorns XD

So I grabbed some acorns and went into the kangaroo yard just to have him follow me around and giving him acorns for doing well. He RUNS to keep up with me and stays SO close to my feet I feel like he's CHASING me not following me. But it's cause porcupines can't see well D: BUU SPIKE. But hey it's more a learning experience for me than for him, he already knows how to do it he just needed a refresher. -I- just need to get used to the crazy bastard running after me like a bat out of hell and handing him food without thinking he's gonna bite me or quill me XD; damn. How cool is that though? Kangaroos, horses, even a lot of work with birds that I didn't get to do in san diego. But that porcupine scares the CRAP out of me DAMN.
