Junior Guinea Pig
Hi. Not sure if there is a more suitable thread so sorry if there is. This sounds strange but wondering if anyone else has experienced this or has any potential solutions. I have 4 boars that live in 2 separate cages in what I call the guinea pig room. They live on fleece bedding which works well for us. Whenever I go into the room, I get super itchy. In particular my legs. It isn't hay-fever as I have only been having problems for the past 1-2 years. It was fine for ages but now there is dust everywhere in the room, all of their accessories etc are covered in dust and even when I just walk into the room, I get super itchy even when I am not interacting with piggies or hay or anything. And its really a problem bevause it makes daily tasks feel like hell and then have to have a shower after each time I need to see my boys. Also, I've been seeing these small bugs/maybe spiders in the room too. Kind of very small hardly visible black bugs? On soft furnishings and stuff like a sofa that was in there and beanbags that we have now thrown out. Any ideas? Dust mites? I don't know. I was going to build the piggies new cages over summer and so was thinking of mopping floors, ceilings, walls etc. Could that help? I would be greatful for any advice! Thanks.
