Hello everybody, i have a very urgent emergency. I just came back from work and found my porcupine puffer completely puffed up. In general he tends to be a bit more skittish and puffs up rather easily if you approach too fast, so i thought maybe the door opening startled him. Usually he depuffs very quickly but not this time. He has been puffed up for about 30 minutes like this and you can tell he tries to depuff because he wiggles around a lot when trying. I already tried to burp him, however nothing came out and he seems to be swimming fine when puffed up like this. Does anyone have an idea what happened to him or how i can help him?
There have not been any signs before and he eats very well usually.
Attached are some pics what he looks like
