I have allergies and asthma and the Carefresh actually did bother me a lot as I find it quite dusty. I have dust mite, housedust, feathers, most animals, etc. allergies. Have you ever tried Fleece as bedding for the pigs?

You could put some towels under to soak up the urine and the fleece usually keeps the wetness away. You would have to change it more frequently than the Carefresh, but I would try that as well.

I ended up having to house my guinea pigs in a shed/workshop detached from our home. I just cannot have them inside but I realize that this is not an option for everyone. If you can house them inside that is best for them, but your son also has to be healthy.

I hope that you can find a solution to this and keep your guinea pigs. Keep us updated.
