Answer

Sneezing in rabbits can indeed be a sign of 'snuffles,' which is typically a bacterial infection of the upper respiratory tract. Other symptoms might include nasal discharge, matted fur on the front paws from wiping, and difficulty breathing. However, it could also be due to environmental irritants like dust, strong perfumes, or even allergies. It's vital to have a veterinarian experienced with rabbits examine your pet to diagnose the cause. Left untreated, snuffles can become chronic and lead to more severe respiratory issues.
