Default Why does my hamster sneeze into corners?

I've noticed that my hamster likes to sneeze into corners when he's exploring a room. It's something he's been doing for a while and I've had him for almost 6 months. Is this normal? I used to think he was allergic to something in a specific corner, but he does this everywhere.

sneezing is not normal. It seems to be an allergic reaction or dusty bedding in most cases. Try switching bedding first and let us know how it goes

Well, he doesn't sneeze in his cage. What he does is stick his nose into different corners of the room when he's free ranging and make a quick sneezing sound.

Mine does this too! I think it might just be dust or like something gets in their nose or they tap it on the wall slightly causing them too sneeze. I wouldn't worry about it mines 1 year old and it honestly has no implications on her

Apparently, hamsters use echolocation, so maybe that's what they're doing.
