Hi. The super friendly one of my two seems to be a bit sneezy, only doing it when I'm in the cage though. He's been here less than a day. Do I separate them, just in case? I'm asking because they are only 6 weeks old, and are siblings. Or is this a type of behaviour I'm missing? He has been chirping and seems very happy in himself otherwise. Help!

Rats will often sneeze for a little while when you bring them home. He's just adjusting to the new smells. My rats usually only sneezed a few times for a few days, but I didn't really pay too much attention to how long it lasted. As long as he's not sneezing a lot, and doesn't sound congested at all, I wouldn't worry about it.
