my syrian ash used to do it and still does from time to time he definately had a runny nose i took him to the vet they told me he was perfectly healthy but did give me antibiotics to give him. But at the time i was using carefresh. I switched bedding so maybe that's what it was.

when i noticed that ash seemed to be sneezing from it and i noticed how dusy it was so i switched to eco paper bedding and then kaytee granule bedding but i think i might go back to eco for both of them even though it is less absorbant.
