I started with my rescue girl who was pregnant, and a boy I got neutered. I ended up keeping the babies, and rescuing more.
Now I have 14 rats I love with all my heart.
I type this with my 8 girls climbing over me and my couch.
My 6 boys are not allowed out of their cage unless I have nearly overdosed on antihistamines.
Because, as I type burning blisters are forming on my skin, but my allergies to the boys is even more hostile. Just petting them, or letting them grab my my finger or lick me causes blisters, sneezing, burning throat, and trouble breathing.
i was fine for the first 6 months and now I have this horrid reaction.
i REFUSE to give my rats up. Not even my boys.
I'm about to beg my doctor to develope allergy shots for this.
does anyone have suggestions to help manage this in the meantime? I wear rat clothes when I play with them and cover the sofa
would giving them baths help?
Can I make them little allergy suits?
Should I live in a hazmat suit?
I clean cages biweekly(any more often and they pee more,and I'm allergic to the urine I think.)
im miserable and need releif but will not give them up.
No one uses rats as pets in my area.
help!
