After holding them my neck goes red and itchy. Whilst cleaning their cage (I use fleece and towels), my nose runs and itches ... which makes me think it might be something in their urine?
Anyone have any idea? :{
 
Have you tried wearing a polo neck jumper to help keep them away from your neck skin and maybe something like piriton to help when you clean them out. Also try using gloves you know the disposable ones you can get for the garage and maybe a dust mask. Don't laugh I have reactions to certain things and I look like I'm about to perform surgery but it helps.:(|)
 
If symptoms persist, contact your gp. You can take meds and do not necessarily need to give up your pets.
