are the quills rubber or plastic?

The quills on mine are NOT rubber, but are a sturdy, hollow plastic. That being said, I'm sure a set of strong gums / teeth could make permanent indents in them because they are hollow. Each quill has a very tiny hole in each end (1.5 mm wide), probably for manufacturing purposes, but it's big enough that saliva or bathwater could get trapped inside and grow gunk if you aren't careful. Each quill is 3 5/8" long. The circular part that pokes into the hedgehog body is about 5/8" in diameter and slides 1" into the body. The ergonomic end for little fingers to hold is a 7/8" x 5/8" oval.

Is there a way to obtain replacement quills? We had emailed the listed address and the message was returned. Thank you!

How long can it be used?

Love this toy my grandson does it over and over! Not only good for colors but also numbers and coordination

Is it good for travel?

Yes, the spikes fit into the shell for easy storage. If planning to use in a vehicle or airplane I would suggest a travel tray.
