How many times does a rabbit sneeze in its life?

Answer 1

There's really no way to answer this question. Unless they're sick, rabbits sneeze for the same reasons humans do: there's a bit of dust in their nose, or something like that. How often does a bit of dust enter a rabbit's nose? There's no way to know, it's entirely up to chance.

If your rabbit sneezes often (more than on the rare occasion), that means it's sick. It could have a respiratory infection, or it could have a tumour in its nose, or it could have dental problems (the tooth grows up into the nasal passages). Either way, it needs to see a vet as soon as possible (within a day or two); and in the mean time, keep a close eye on the rabbit, because if it becomes really ill then it might need to see the emergency vet.

If your rabbit sneezes often, there's also the chance that it isn't sick but the litter material you're using is too dusty, or you aren't cleaning the cage enough. Still, the rabbit should see a vet to get a health check to make sure, but then you'll have to make some big changes to how you care for the rabbit.
