Whiskers?

[PaperMoon]

Today, I found my ebony's 3rd fallen whisker on the fleece liner within one week. I find whiskers every once in a while- but never 3 in a week..... My beige (cagemate) is quite docile and they haven't been fighting or anything. Normal water intake, food intake, activity level.

Anyone got a clue as to why I'm finding so many whiskers?

Does the skin look irritated or anything around where the whiskers are coming from?

There is nothing wrong with the skin and whiskers area as I can see it....

--I just saw my beige rub noses with my ebony....(so cute!) just thought I'd mention it in case it'd be helpful =)

Sounds like normal shedding to me.

I collect and save all of MY whiskers that I find -- I call them my "lucky chinchilla whiskers"!!!

My chins lose their whiskers too, but I know cats lose their whiskers so I was never really concerned about it. I find a whisker about every other day. If you start finding a LOT of whiskers, that would be cause for concern.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that saves my chin's whiskers! I keep them in a band-aid box and carry them around with me. My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy.

Nothing to worry about. Just like any other hair sometimes it sheds more often than other times
