These are assorted small, thick B-Grade African porcupine quills.
The B-Grade porcupine quills are of a lower quality. These quills may be bent, flattened, have broken ends, or otherwise flawed. They tend to have a stubby end instead of a sharp point, may have a more muted brown and white coloring instead of crisp black and white, and are often not as clean as the #1 or A-grade quills. This grade is what most other firms sell as A-grades.
The small thick B-Grade quills are mostly 3” to 5” long and 3 to 6 mm thick in the middle.
The quills have been cleaned and sterilized. They are ideal for cutting into small pieces or for use as is.
A USFWS export permit is required for all shipments outside the USA.
South African porcupines are not endangered.
