  Hi everyone, i like to hand feed my bunny hay sometimes as a way to bond and on Sunday i put some hay close to her face and she started sneezing and ever since then i have been hearing her sneeze.
  
  is this something that will go away with time or should i be concerned?

  She could have “breathed in” a piece of hay that got stuck. Sometimes this happens, and not bc of hand feeding, just bc pieces of hay can be very sharp. Do you see any thick (opaque) snot around her nose? A runny eye?

  I’d say keep an eye on it for now, but I am not a vet and I can’t give veterinary advice. Hay can cause problems if a piece of hay or a grass seed etc gets lodged in the nasal cavity or between two teeth etc – but it’s not like we rabbit caretakers can not give our rabbits hay. Hopefully this will resolve on its own.
  
  If you start seeing thick snot etc of if your bun keeps sneezing, or the sneezing gets worse, you should of course contact your vet.

  My senior bunny would have sneezing fits around his hay. I found that keeping him in the bathroom with me during a steamy shower for 5-10 minutes every few days really cut back on the sneezing 🙂
