Hello, can you kindly let me know how many times it's okay for a cavy to sneeze every day?

About 4-5 times a day is normal, as is a one-off sneezing fit.

You need to see a vet if if your piggy is sneezing lots of times within an hour without stopping for hours on end or if it is developing other symptoms of URI. If in any doubt, then please see a vet.

New guinea pigs can react sensitively to hay dust, pollen, dry radiator or AC air, scented air fresheners, scent sticks, smoke fumes or even some perfumed human skin products.

What to check and look out for in new guinea pigs (vet checks, sexing, parasites&illness)
 
No, they sneeze for like 4-5 times a day while before it was very rare. But not in a row. Is that okay? I've transferred them to a cleaner place and their weights are normal too. Have been weighing them everyday. Is there anything else I gotta do? The vet asked me to get supplements for them.
