Hi just wanted to add my contribution - I am alergic to animal fur and feathers yet i have 2 rabbits, a guinea pig, a budgie and a cockatiel. I find that after a short amount of time I got used to them and my alergies weren't as bad, although when I went to see a friends animals I was still alergic to theirs. Also i spend some time away from home because I am a uni student with a flat near the uni that doesn't allow pets. When i come home after a few months away I find that I only get a mild allergic reaction that disappears after a few days.

Unfortunately this information isn't going to help anyone because it's not fair to suggest getting an animal "just to see if you stop being alergic to it"!

i'm so glad i'm not allergic to my pets. i'm not so great with the woodshavings, i wheeze, choke, splutter, sneeze and itch for hourrrrrrs after changing it, but i would never give up my bunnywabbit

theyre nowhere near a thousand pound, theyre around £100 on average, dont see the appeal myself, like squeaky little testicles...

WHAT THE F**k!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahhaa. Buy a yorkshire terrier, small and have hair which is similar to human hair.

I know you probably mean't rodents though. Thing is every rodent with no hair looks totally gross and deformed in my opinion :P

And plus its mean on rats as they can't regulate their temp very well (they use there tails).

good luck!

Just that we had really bad luck and lost a number. First two came in from holland but had gut problems. Next two came from the lakes. Female died giving birth. Male from holand died in my arms and little girl had an internal problem! They were also more expensive 3 yrs ago. Love them to bits just wasn't going to try again after all the problems we were devistated as was one young one. But they can be found fir about £100 each. Need lots of care and must be kept indoors

(save your money!)
skinny are born with hair and loose it but boldwins are born without. never seen a boldwin here though.
the cavy clubs dont like the idea at all and none of them will admit to keeping them even though there are a few!

why? are they all twisted and mental and that? surely just being hairless cant result in so many health problems, matt lucas is still alive, despite being obese

Ive got a naked cat but even he has fur on his tail. Are you sure its the fur you are allergic to and not the saliva /dander?

I could be rude but instead I will say if you lived nearer you could stroke my naked CAT anytime
