Mexican Hairy Dwarf Porcupine- (Sphiggurus mexicanus)

Where is this being kept? I hadn't heard about them getting this species.
 
@TinoPup This guy was located in the small mammal building in the enclosure across from the Meerkats. I knew of them holding one off exhibit for some time now but I had heard mixed rumors, one claiming it had died and one that it had gone on exhibit. I am very grateful that the later turned out to be true.
 
@TinoPup I hope so, too. Speaking of the Small Mammal House I actually just heard from Thylo today that a keeper told him that they want to convert the Small Mammal House into a restaurant and that's why the collection has reduced. :(:(:(
