My new baby piggie has started sneezing
But only at night🤔
He is active,happy,eating,drinking etc....no discharge from his nose or funny breathing sounds
I am quite puzzled by this
Could the drop in temp at night be causing him to get a bit chilly and start sneezing?

Hi there- are your piggies in a shed/outbuilding? Mine are & recently it got a build up of condensation (probably due to me insulating every crevice!) which I've tackled now by increasing ventilation & a daily blast with an electric heater to keep it dry. 2 of my piggies were sneezing, not loads but enough for me worry it was damp. This has mostly solved things but I also had an air freshener thing in there (that could have been it too) plus possibly just a bit of dusty hay. They still sneeze (like yours at night) & I've eliminated all the things I think it could be & thats all you can do (unless you suspect illness of course).

It could be anything really but just try to work out what you have in there which could be the culprit. Summer will be here before you know it 🌞 x
 
They are in my front room,he has no sign of illness at all just sneezing at night
I bought them a cat tunnel with fleece inside it yesterday,zoomie lived up to his name lol he LOVED it,running and popcorning around and through it,much to gizmos annoyance lol so I know he isn't I'll....so frustrating 🤯

Sounds like a happy boy. It could literally be anything making him sneeze! Sounds very snug where they are 😊
