I was cuddling my Oscar and it sounded like he sneezed, he did this twice, I've not heard him do this in his run only when I hold him?
 
Oh yes they do sneeze - just bare in mind a lot of persistent sneezing needs checking
When Rambo eats to fast she coughs. Strange sound if you haven't heard it before
 
Sometimes they make a strange slapping noise with their lips when they get something stuck when eating too haha made me panic once.
 
Yes, they do sneeze, though if they do it often or have nasal discharge it can be a sign of a URI and needs to be checked out. Mine will also make a 'cough' noise, usually if they are eating too fast and get food stuck.
 
Thanks. I've only heard it a few times and I have seen no signs of discharge or illness. I thought it meant he was cross with me.
 
I've definitely got some occasional sneezers.
 
Yep, both my boys sneeze every now and then. Nelson also coughs when he gets food going down a bit funny because he always eats so fast and messily!
