Only 4 out of the dozen hatched, but 1 didn't make it.

I sat on him, with choke chain pulled tight and a firm grip under his chin, but no luck. Only about 10 quills, but the vet had to sedate him.

Not surprised, I only dealt with it once. Very hard to remove

Oh I hope he learned his lesson and doesn't try to play with one again.

Ouch.

That's like me trying to clip Ruby's toenails. She must have had a horrible trauma about her feet before we got her at the age of 4 years of age.
At PetSmart, the groomer didn't like my suggestion that she use a muzzle on Ruby. The tech was nipped on her chin.
Then the next time her nails needed clipping I took her to the vet and it took four of us to hold her to clip her nails with her screaming and writhing in fear.
So I thought I would try by myself. Armed with small doggie treats and cheese surely I could coax 112 pound Ruby to let me trim her nails. After putting a muzzle on her along with a body harness and anchoring three of her legs to the kitchen table legs, covering her eyes with a soft cloth and not holding her feet, I was able to sneak a pair of clippers to a toenail and clip the tip. A treat, some love and reposition for another toe...clipped 5 of her 8 toenails on her two front feet...in an hour and a half!
So from now on the vet will just have to sedate Ruby.
Look closely at how loooong Ruby's toenails are in these photos before I cut them.
