My new rabbit keeps sneezing a lot. Is this normal or a concern?

Question

hello, I bought 2 rabbits 4 days ago, one of them has been sneezing a lot the last day. They are both still very lively and have settled in well to the new home, and they are eating normally which leads me to believe he doesn't feel unwell, I just want to check that its not something to worry about, Thanks, Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | unneutered

Congrats onthe new rabbits! They can make great pets. If they are new additions to your family I do always recommend taking them to a vet to make sure they are healthy. I would also recommend taking a fecal sample to make sure the do not have any parasites like coccidia. It is possible the sneezing is a small allergy and nothing to be concerned about. However rabbits can get snuffles (pasturella) infection which can cause long term upper respiratory issues. A vet would be able to examine your new additons and let you know why Bob is sneezing and if it is a concern. Hope that helps!
