Good morning!
I joined the forum this week (I introduced myself earlier in the introduction forum). My husband offered me the most adorable little furry ball for my bday. His name is Henri.
After considering different location, I decided to put it in my home office with me but since I gave him his dust bath yesterday night, I'm having horrible allergies (I'm highly allergic to dust in general - my husband didn't think of this)... I have been ok with the hay but the dust is terrible. :frown2:
I am going to have a hard keeping him with him in the same room when I work (I spend 10 hours 5 days a week in there) for that reason.
I have a closed dust bath house. Is there a trick I could do (cover the cage while he is taking his bath to let the dust settle down?, vacuum the cage + room and dust after each bath?)....
The other option would be to put Henri in the living room. We have a great corner, no direct sunlight, cool side of the house and no vent. We have an open kitchen/dining room/living room area, I cook everyday and my husband uses the blender every day, my only big concern is that my husband plays the drums in the basement underneath the living room in the same area where I would put the cage.
It would really break my heart to have to re-home my little friend. I'm already very attached to him and he is settling in so good (sleeping with his eyes closed now)... but I cannot have allergies every day (medications are not doing anything)
Please advice
Thank you very much in advance.
