Rat Dander.....

[PitOnTheProwl]

Those that breed rodents, Have you found large amounts of dander?



I havent taken my kayaks down from the loft in 5 or 6 years, never thought about how much dander could get up in the loft of the shed.




All clean and ready to hit the water.

For sure. I have hurricane in line fans with carbon filters. The pre filter gets washed filthy every week.

That is a lot of rat skin.....

I have a lot of dust in my rodent room but most of my glass tanks have carbon filters on the tops, no way any dander can get out. I'm thinking that most of my dust is from the pine bedding.

I used to get a lot of dust from the food I was feeding (especially in the summer with the AC unit blowing). Never considered that some of that might have been dander. Kinda gross.

Some, maybe a lot of that dust can be attributed to grain mites. They come in on the feed, and that dust gets everywhere. I had the same kind of dust when I was brooding chickens in a spare room, before I got rodents.
