Hi, so I just brought home a new hamster this past Sunday night. He is about 6-8wks old. He is very, very vocal, and I've heard him make these little sneezy noises here and there as well. He doesn't do it all the time, but it's often enough to make me feel a bit concerned. He seems to be quite active and has a good appetite, is drinking plenty, etc. I'm wondering if anyone could tell me if he sounds like he's just being extra vocal here or if this might be a respiratory issue? The fact that he sneezed and then wiped at his nose with his paws worried me.

I would go to the vet straight away, but was worried about causing him more stress so soon after bringing him to a new home (especially since he isn't very hand-tame yet), so wanted to get some opinions from more experienced hamster owners first. He is not my first hamster but I've never had one this vocal before.
