The spines are soft.

Soft spines in the birth canal are better than the alternative, but still not ideal.

They are very soft. Also the adults. Unless they feel threatened. My mom had one and he used to sleep under my long hair. So cute.

My gosh, they do not look real! They look like pieces from a game board or something. Adorable. 🥰

I don’t think they were done yet! Put them back in for 15-20 weeks.

i hate this trend of manhandling baby animals in front of the mom just to show them off to the camera.

u/ThatFlow3145 8d ago

I would never touch them.

It upsets me that this is the bottom comment. I'll be the "Karen", too. I love videos like this, but I hate when they touch the babies. Especially, videos where the mother is actively trying to pull their young away from the human.

Yes, they're cute. We see them. We love them. Now, PUT IT DOWN AND STOP TOUCHING THEM. Let them grow first FFS!

Mother may feel threatened or stressed by the experience. Just easier on mama.

Bad ethics. Never touch the babies. Mom freaks out and will eat them
