Did you know that a young porcupine is called a porcupet? Neither did I! A friend of mine who is a professional wildlife rehabber has an orphaned porcupet. It's already socialized to humans so she is continuing that and he will end up at either a zoo or wildlife center.

Maybe a gipsy's piglet, given that fine palindromic expression, gipsy's pig, for hedgehog.
