Any potential problem with switching to all hay cubes and an alternative dust?

Hello,

I just got my chins less than 2 weeks ago and I didn't think I would be allergic as I went through the 5 year hundreds of allergy shots thing.



But I am already noticing my allergies are getting worse and worse. Unfortunately, my chins have to be housed in my room this year, until I move. So that is not helping having to sleep here. I am however out of the room most of the day unless I come into check on them and say hi.



I know I am/was allergic to hay and dust, mold, etc. before the allergy shots.



I really think it might be just the dust, so I have ordered an alternative allergy friendly dust from whimsys menagerie. Does anyone have any good or bad experiences with this product? Anyone know what it is comprised of?



I also ordered about 3 pounds of hay cubes to try and see if my chins will eat those (one it would make a lot less of a mess! And hopefully not trigger my allergies and asthma) and then maybe I could just give them a bunch of loose hay like once a week if they do eat the cubes? What do you guys think? I am worried about teeth issues.



Do you think it would help to have my closet door shut (where I am currently storing the hay)?



I feed oxbow Timothy pellets, just for more information.



Also would other chin appropriate hays be less allergy prone? I am giving them a little bit of alfalfa and mostly Timothy right now.



I am also about to change the shop fads filter to the fine dust/particle one instead of the standard one it came with.. Hopefully all of these changes will help! I have been taking a daily dose of Benadryl everyday this past week and my symptoms are getting worse each day.. My eyes look terrible today for example on top of watering eyes, sneezing and being stuffed up a lot.



Thanks for your input!
