Well let's see, if all its attacks hit and the target fails its Reflex save vs the tail it averages 22 damage (5.5 bite + 11.5 tail + 5 quills), if they make the Reflex save it averages 17 damage. That's more damage than the CR 3 Ogre, but its lower attack and the Reflex save make it less likely.
AC and hit points and AC are roughly the same as an Ogre too.
Yes, Challenge Rating 3 seems sound.

Since its Shoot Quills have a range of 30 feet we might as well include the Point Blank Shot in the attack line:
4 quills* +6 ranged (1d3+1)
*including Point Blank Shot feat.

Firstly, you've adjusted the melee quills with Point Blank Shot in the Attack line, not the ranged quills. It's also missing the +1 damage for PBS. It should be:
Attack: Bite +5 melee (1d6+2) or tail +5 melee (1d6+3 plus quills) or 1d4 quills +5 melee (1d3) or 4 quills* +6 ranged (1d3+1)
Full Attack: Bite +5 melee (1d6+2) and tail +3 melee (1d6+3 plus quills) and 1d4 quills +3 melee (1d3) or 4 quills* +6 ranged (1d3+1)
Secondly, the "(see Defensive Quills, above, for the effects)" in Shoot Quills should be "(see Quills, above, for the effects)", since we got rid of the Defensive.
Thirdly, its Will save is 2 too high. It should have either a "Dire" SQ to give it a good Will save or Iron Will as a bonus feat. I prefer the Dire option:
Dire (Ex): A quill is considered to be a dire animal for the purposes of saving throws.
