Sorry for the late response.

Are those two sneezing alot? Or just once in awhile? Could be allergies. Is there any discharge coming from their noses? Are their paws matted from wiping? (If no discharge, might be just allergies.) Ifso, those are indicators of Pasturella aka Snuffles. You'll need to get them to a vet for a culture to determine if there is discharge, especially colored discharge.

Great that you got them away from the others just in case.

Let us know!

just once in awhile they will sneeze clear discarge i think it started when i put the bunnie outside she use to be inside could that be why?

It could be an allergy from factors like dust, grass or even changes in temperature and stress due to change in their environment, however, without a culture you won't be certain on the cause, therefore on the way of action. In case this is pasteurella, a vet evaluation and agressive antibiotic treatment shall be needed in order to keep the symptoms under control. On the other hand, have you tried to take them inside again and see if the sneezing stops?

Good to hear they're not sneezing so much now.

So, you're saying since the new feed they've been sneezing, right? I wouldn't think it wouldbe the feed, unless you noticed it is dusty. It couldbe though, there's always that possiblity.I would lean more towards the hay if anything. Keep us posted.

How's the buns? Has the sneezing stopped completely since your last post? (If, so, we can mark this resolved!)
