hi folks...i have got a problem. i think my partner is allergic to my hammies. it suddenly started in spring time and we thought it was just hay fever...but he still has problems. unfortunately its not only ichy eyes and runny nose...he gets serious breathing problems when he is in my flat. we have tried moving the hammies out of the room where he is but it doesnt work anymore...with my 4 hamsters and my flatmates one hamster there a probably just too many allergenes in the flat
at the moment he is staying away from my flat coz anti-histamines dont work anymore either and he is still waiting for an appointment for allergy testing...he has been waiting for 6 weeks now and still no appointment
just wanted to ask if somebody on this forum had a similar problem and how they managed...i really dont want to give my hammies away....but of course i dont want to get rid off my partner either...
i used to use wood shavings but swapped to megazorb a while ago...i dont really think its the bedding coz magezorb is just paper and if he was allergic to dust he would have died of an allergic shock in his own flat a while ago....if you know what i mean
please help...looking forward to any advice really!!!
