Finally someone who can atleast be understanding.

I swear I have been tested over 5 times. And the vet I went to has had cavys for years. Both indoor and out after her son moved back in.

We live in Northern California, the weather isnt bad enough yet to the point where they need frozen water bottels. It averages around 72 during the peak hours. and the low 60's at night. In which case they have fleece blankets, and excessive amounts of hay (i by my hay by in mass quanties)

I wish I could bring them inside but, the size of our house with my allergy problems is unbareable. Its only 724 sq. feet between four people. I converted my room so i could have them inside but after trying every option of bedding, 4 diffrent hepa filters, numerious allergy test, cleaning the very large cage everyday and then the outside encloser.

They are even more apart of our family outside. May not seem like it to everyone else. But we spend more time outside than we ever would in. The cavys are almost never alone, espically on weekends. They have even became friends with my 3lb chihuahua. They touch noses and the cavys popcorn when they see him. Its really cute.

AND honestly if I didn't care about my cavys and wanted them to die, which is what most people seem to be hinting at, would I even bother comming on here asking for advice?
