        So I have been noticing that my bunny has sneezing fits randomly she sneezed several times in a row and this white snot  comes out of her nose and she wipes it off and goes back to business. I notice this normally happens after I put her hay into her cage. Perhaps this is irritating her nose? Or giving her an allergic reaction? She’s still eating like a pig and as playful as usual. Is this worth a vet visit? Tehre aren’t any bunny vets nearby so it would mean a long drive for my bunny and being in the car really stresses her out.

        (she’s a 6 month old Holland lop if that makes any difference.)

          She might be allergic to dust or highly-sensitive to it. Is the hay you use dusty?

            If there is discharge accompanying the sneezing, I would recommend that you have her checked out. It’s a good idea for all new bunnies to have a baseline exam with a rabbit vet anyways. If she isn’t spayed yet, that would also give you the opportunity to discuss that with your vet. Let us know how everything goes!

              Rabbits can have allergies.  The hay could be causing sneezing fits, but if there is white discharge coming from her nose, that could mean an infection. It could be a combination of both, but with the discharge, it would be advisable to take her to the vet. If you suspect that the hay is bothering her, you may want to switch brands or types of hay, get a new bag of the hay you normally buy (in case you got an exceptionally dusty batch), or sort through the hay you have, taking it out of the bag by handfuls and shaking it around in a colander to hopefully remove excess dust.

                I agree with Beka. It could be something that needs a vet to clear up so best to have her checked out.
