It's possible. Dust, dander, loose substrate at the bottom of the cage, respiratory issues, etc can all cause sneezing. If the sneezes and any discharge are clear, making sure the room Rimmie is kept in is clean and dust-free and closing any open windows may help. If you notice any discolored discharge, or she has other symptoms of illness such as not wanting to eat or drink, listless behavior, trouble breathing, etc, then this could indicate something more serious such as a respiratory infection which should be treated by a vet.
