Sneezing bunny!?

One of my boys starting sneezing when I went out there today. I think I'd woken them up coz they were all huddled and cosy, then he sneezed 3 or 4 times. Stayed out there cleaning them out and stuff and didn't hear anymore sneezing, and he seemed happy enough... ran outside into run, eating grass, ran back in to see what I was doing etc.

Can rabbits just have a little sneezing fit? Like humans do, I'm snotty and sneezy all the time! or is sneezing a bad sign in buns??

They are outside buns who live in a shed with runs attached so I have been a bit worried with all this rain :( poor boys!
 
Donny and Lola started sneezing once for about a week, randomly, once or twice. Took them to the vets, nothing visibly wrong. Found a load of hay dust in the hay I had been finishing off for that week.

That was the cause :thumb:
 
Hmmm.. possibility of that, I finished some hay off last week? Also since seeing him sneezing I have just cleaned out everything from shed and replaced with new straw and hay etc which has probably made it worse as I am sneezing like mad now!!!!
 
Pippa was sneezing a lot and now has a sleeping bag, fleecy side out to sleep on, and the hay damped slightly. Because she lives indoors, I only give small amounts and then just put more out when she has eaten the previous lot.
