My small pet keeps sneezing. Is it normal or could it be allergies?

Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Male | unneutered | 1lb

So I've had Abbadon since August and over the last month or month and a half I've noticed him sneezing several times a day. At first I thought he was sick and kept a close eye on him and he seems to be fine, he eats and left squeeking while we cuddled yesterday. Is it normal for them to sneeze four or five times a day, could he be allergic to something? It's kind of cold it my room at times, might that have something to do with it?

Hi, Yes, this could be quite normal or perhaps a reaction to the substrate he's on. You could try changing the substrate and see if that helps. In any case, it does not sound too concerning at this point. Regards
