I am SEVERLY allergic to rats! We are fixing to start breeding them and I went to pick up some racks sunday night and they had been in storage for 2 years a rat has not been in it for two years and when we were done loading them on the truck I was sneezing and eyes running it was horrible lol I have to wear gloves and use tongs when feeding I can not touch them. So thankfully I have a fiance that is willing to take care of the furry critters for me so I will never touch the rat racks. They will have there own building lol. Ive been thinking about getting on a regular allergy medicine. I also have 6 dogs and I have 4 siberian huskys and im fine with all of them except one of my females I cant get in an enclosed space with her I took her to get shots one day and thought I was going to die
