I noticed Pumpkin "shed" a whisker. Is this normal? This is the 2nd time I noticed this. TIA

Yes, whiskers are just modified hairs and they are shed on a regular basis.

I try to save whiskers when I find them, but they must..disintegrate... because the envelope I keep them in has only a few in it and I've been saving them for years. Strange...

The first time I found one of Holland's whiskers I freaked out and googled it (before I found this wonderful forum)...
I've found several since then.
