  Do bunnys get just a regular cold like us humans? I thought it was just because of a new environment but Archie started sneezing again today. I was gone most of the day, but when I let him out he sneezed out of his cage and again a little bit ago. He’ll sneeze like 5 + times in a row and then wipe his nose (I swear he’s OCD, always cleaning his face off after he eats, so cute!). His nose was a little wet and I checked with a tissue to see if it was green or yellow coming out but it was clear. Other than that he’s fine.

  no bunnies don’t get colds, they can get infections tho, so you’ll want to watch that there’s no discharge from the eyes or nose. a little bit of sneezing is normal.

  I’ve noticed something in the corner of his eyes, but I didn’t think it was discharge since my other bun has had it. They don’t get sleep in their eyes do they?

  Yup, that’s all he’s got is just sleep in his eyes. I’ll keep an eye on him though! Thanks!

  sleep in their eyes is totally normal-some never get it and some have some most days. They don’t get colds like us though-if their is sneezing and coughing-time to go to the vet! But sounds like your dealing with sleepy eye crusites
