SHIB
SHIB is priced in fractions of a cent. Ordinary holdings therefore run to millions of units, and that is the practical thing to know about sending it: the amounts are long, the zeros matter, and one misplaced digit is a different transfer entirely. The wallet shows the amount and what arrives before you sign.

Transfers are quoted as a single amount with the fee inside, so the figure you check is the figure that leaves.
Questions
Why are the amounts so long?
SHIB has a very small unit value, so normal balances run into the millions. Nothing is wrong with the number.
Do I need ETH to send SHIB?
No. The fee is charged inside the operation, in SHIB itself.
How long does a SHIB transfer take?
Ethereum adds a block about every twelve seconds, and a transfer normally lands in the next one or two. The estimate is shown with the quote.
