Bunny newbie....Flemish Giant.....occasional sneezing and wet nose - should we worry?

When hubby gets paid on Friday, I am going to pick up some of those NIC type cubes and try to rig something up in the house for him temporarily. The breeder we purchased him from was not litter training, so we are going to try that, but we are concerned with spraying. We are also going to remove the cedar floor and replace it. Hubby is not too happy about us wanting to move the bun inside, but I honestly think he will cost us less in the long run (as far as the vet is concerned) than if we leave him outside.
The whole cedar thing is frustrating because they actually sell cedar hutches at pet stores....I had no idea that the cedar floor would have the same effects as the cedar shavings, but I am willing to try anything to keep this bun healthy!

Will it never end? I took the bun back today, another $95 spent, and the good news is that his lungs and belly sound like normal again. His eyes were normal, and there was no concern. The bad news is that they were concerned about his ears, so they did a swab and diagnosed him with a bacterial and yeast otitis externa, and gave us antibiotic ear drops. That poor bun! That's why he has been scratching! So, hopefully this is the last visit and our bun is okay from now on!!!
