Hi, and thanks for your question. Unfortunately this is not normal and this sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a chronic rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Yes, sneezing is usually a sign of upper respiratory infection in rabbit and this infection is going nowhere without treatment. You will have to take Milo to the vet in order to get an antibiotic course.
