A member asked:
My nan has asthma and she has pet rats in her room almost right by her bed would this cause her to be sick?

If allergic, yes!: Having a rodent as a pet near the bed will like having an indoor cat close to your bed. It will affect someone with asthma if you allergic to it, otherwise it should not cause any problem.

Yes: Would recommend moving them to a different room and possibly outdoors.
