Hello everyone! I'm a bit new to owning Guinea pigs. My boyfriend and I got two very sweet boys about three weeks ago. They're just a little under a year. (Blooky and Chen)
Ever since we got them, Blooky has sneezed quite a bit. We thought it could have been his bedding so we switched from Kaytee brand to Care Fresh. He was fine and only sneezed maybe once or twice a day at first but then started to sneeze a ton so we just switched to the dust free bedding this morning. He still sneezes and rubs his nose a bit.
I know they hide they're illnesses very well and we have definitely looked into a possible URI, but he has no discharge coming from his nose, he doesn't cough--although he has when he drinks water really fast, and he's eating a lot as usual and playing. I'm going to make a vet appointment in the morning but I was wondering if anyone has any advice on this. Like are there other things that could cause sneezing?
What kind of bedding is the best?
