Bunny sneezes?

Hi all,

House rabbit Buster has started to sneeze several times a day (that i notice). I have checked his nose for mucus and there is nothing! Is he ok? I have recently changed hay to a better quality one and have checked that it is dust extracted, so don't think it is this.

Apart from the sneezing he is perfectly normal! He has started to 'forget' his litter habits but i think that is just due to him reaching his teenage years and waiting to be neutered.

Any advice is much appreciated!

One of my house buns Boby used to do about 5 in a row about 4 time sa day, i was worried, but he also does it when i put his pellets down, think its the dust off them??
now hes out side he doesnt do it much at all, so i think it was maybe just the house claening products, air fresheners n things maybe they are not used to. But I was told as long as theres no runny nose mucus etc he should be fine???
 
It might be fur getting up his nose from where they are moulting more now the weather is getting hotter.
 
Our new rabbit was sneezing loads and I was worried it was pasteurella... we took him to the vet yesterday and they found a massive bit of hay up his nose... poor thing! He'd also been making noises like a guinea pig which have now stopped - I guess because of the hay in his throat.

If it continues for a few days I would take him to the vet to be checked out.
