So I recently got two baby guinea pigs, sniffles and waffle, since last Thursday waffle has been making a puff of air sound kind of like sneezing and I’ve read that it could be a URI but everyday I have checked his eyes and nose and there is no discharge. He’s been eating and drinking fine but recently I noticed that he has only been making the sneeze sound whenever he eats so I changed the type of hay that he was eating but he’s still doing it. What could it be? Could it just be a weird sound he makes while eating?
 
Sometimes they will sneeze/cough if they eat too fast. There’s no harm in taking them to the vet for a general check. You can mention your worry at the same time. Did you double check that they’re both boars?

Thank you for your reply I will probably take him to the vet to just check. And yes they are definitely both boars.
 
Eating fast. . Which a piggie can do.
Creates noises. . A trip to vet will help and taking both you could get them checked over. .
