i may be over reacting,(like i do alot)
but it's never happened before.

i was just out topping up their hay, and valentino went to go eat some hay and just as i was getting up i heard a sneeze, and looked and it was vali he sneezed about 5 times then rubbed his face, i checked and no snotty nose or anything..

im not sure if its normal or what? - ive never heard any of them sneeze, and it's getting warmer now so i don't think they are cold.

am i over reacting??

adviceee.....
 
I assume your hay is rather dusty :wave:

That happens with a lot of buns - just keep an eye on it :)
 
Harley used to sneeze quite a bit, so we changed brands of hay. Unless there's other signs of something being amiss, its most likely the dust or even small bits of hay irritating his nose :):

ohh, right:?
is their anything i can do to get some of the dust out of it?
or is one of the other kinds of hay from them less dusty?

Empty the bag onto a big open tarp and shake it up a bit, leave if for a while to settle, then place the hay back in the bag :)
