  I just got a 5 month old rabbit, he is eating and pooping well, binkying all the time, everything is great!
  Except he can’t stop sneezing. It started almost 2 weeks after we got him, it was nothing big, a few sneezes every hour when he was on the bed playing. Now, about a week after it started, he sneezes 3 or 4 times every 15 minutes.
  I’ve researched this, and I don’t think it’s a respiratory problem, as his eyes and nose are clear and clean. He also isn’t breathing heavy.
  I am wondering if it is our wash detergent, as he sneezes the most on the bed during play time.
  Would hypo-allergenic detergent work ?
  I’m not sure what else could possibly be wrong. I figured it was just a hair up his nose but its constant!

  Allergies are certainly a possibility. His bedding or litter, something in the environment such as the detergent you use as mentioned. Otherwise he could even be allergic to the type of hay you are using for him.
  
  If he’s been sneezing this long without any other symptoms, I suspect allergies are likely, or as you mentioned, something like a hair or small piece of hay up the nostril.
