Sneezing Hamster

[lany30]

So my hamster keeps randomly sneezing. I got him yesterday and it started after I got him. What happens is randomly he will just sneeze 6 times in a row then stop and then will do it again 2-3 min later. I don't know if this has to do with anything but I sprayed perfume in my room yesterday and it started after that happened. He is eating fine, drinking fine, and he is still running like a champ on the running wheel. He is also sleeping fine, but I'm just worried about the sneezing.

In future, don't spray any kind of chemicals around them as it can irritate their respiratory systems very easily. Wood shavings and other dusty substrates like Carefresh can also cause sneezing.

If the sneezing has not stopped by tomorrow morning, I would make an appointment with an exotics vet to see if he has a upper respiratory infection.
