fur, fur and fur....

In the last few weeks it seems as if Inca's fur is everywhere (floating around outside of cage)! He must be shedding like crazy and it's driving me crazy :hair: ! Is this normal, Ive never noticed Charlie shedding so much.

Yep. Mine are blowing coats like crazy, too.

Is there anything we can do to, or is it a "deal with it til he's done" kinda thing?

a sticky lint roller will be your best friend until Inca is done blowing, lol. grooming may help.

Mine seemed to shed a lot earlier this year but yes, its normal. I noticed it was worse with my mosaic since he's more fluffy. My breeder lint rolled em for me and showed me how to properly do it, and its very easy. A LOT of fur will come off and its normal. It may help the process out for ya though.

We are experiencing the same thing too. Would be great for those that knit! I had someone ask me to save all the fur when I groom etc, but I'm kind of lazy! lol

Thank you, thank you!!!! I lint rolled Inca and wow! He actualyy just sit in my arm while I rolled him and then switched sides! I got so much loose fur off and he looks amazing (got a dust bath afterwards)!
