    Bedding question
    Alright, my wife is deathly allergic to rats. She also has a tree allergy. Yesterday I was outside cleaning tubs, wife was watching not touching and went into a sneezing fit that later led to serious coughing and a near er visit. I think, even being outside, she got some rat aspen dust and small rat hair fibers breathed in. what other tour of bedding can I use to at least cut down on that that will last as long as aspen. Still getting her an epi pen.

    A specialist may be able to provide a daily medication to combat her sensitivity. Better than reacting with an epi pen.

    Alpha Dri bedding may be an option

    Sani chips maybe?

    They dont have any dust

    It's more than a sensitivity. But will talk to her about it.

    Also any pelleted paper products should work too.

    Such as Yesterdays News

    Had the same issue with one of the kiddos and wood shaving substrate we moved all the rodents to carefresh paper based bedding and it worked out great seems to hold up a little longer as well
