Upper respiratory infections called "snuffles" are common with pet rabbits.
Sneezing and nasal discharge especially if white and thickened indicate one of several bacterial infections. An anti bacterial medication can be given by a vet after confirming the cause.
A rabbit with pneumonia or lower respiratory infection will show symptoms of loud raspy breathing and often stretches its neck to attempt to get more oxygen in with each breath. A rabbit showing these signs is critically ill and needs to be taken to a small animal Veterinarian right away.
There are no home remedies that work well enough to ensure recovery.

∙ 14y agoNo. You may want to check the bedding. The rabbit could be having an allergic type reaction to bedding especially if the hay or sawdust is dusty. Try for dust free examples of these. If your rabbit has any eye or nasal discharge or is off it's food, it should see a vet as soon as possible. If your rabbit stops eating, it must be seen by a vet within 24 hours. Sneezing can be the start of respiratory infections. Make sure the rabbit is kept in a draft free area and is kept warm when it's cold outside.

∙ 13y agoNo, it's not. If your rabbit's sneezing, he's probably sick and you should visit a vet as soon as possible.
ANY RABBIT can sneeze at any given time. Reasons for sneezing could be dust, strong smells and perfumes and even Allergies. If, however, there is mucous present with the sneeze a visit to the vet may be in order.

∙ 14y agoYes rabbits can sneeze. I've seen a dwarf rabbit sneeze many times. I think its due to allergies or any flying particles around the air that irritate their nose.

If nothing looks serious, maybe your rabbit is shedding. Check for falling hair. This is completely normal. I have 2 rabbits myself, and they lose a lot of fur in the summertime.
