It’s been two months now and no signs of the end of shedding season. We furminate him and put his fur in a pile next to him. He turns around and eats the ball of fur. Do we have the only weirdo Shiba or is this normal? Tweet This Post

Romeo is also shedding non-stop! He is going to get a big brushing out this weekend. I do it outside in our backyard but if he can get to any of the hair he will try to eat it too! I think its so gross and try to get it out of his mouth! Shiba’s seriously crack me up!
I don’t know that it is “normal” but Zuko seems distressed when I take his fur away from him. The Shiba “it’s mine don’t take it” mentality seems to kick in or something. I brush him outside so he can’t eat it. I had enough of hairballs with the cats, I don’t want my Shiba coughing them up!!
Oh I am so glad my Shiba is not the only one who eats her hair after I remove it. I try to bag it up quickly so she can not get to it.
Yeah mine likes to eat the hair balls too if I am not fast enough… all shibas are wierd in their own ways
