dust bath and weird noises

[Jovi]

Well, i was excited my new 7 year old chinchilla came out of his house and took his first dust bath with me but he freaked me out with some weird noises. They are hard to explain but would maybe be like a cough or sneeze or squeek or i dunno. My 2 chins had never made any noise like that . He was doing it a lot and then burying his nose deep in the dust. I was getting worried so i took out the bath and heard him make the noise a few more times while eating his hay. Is this normal? Any reason for concern?

He could just have gotten dust up his nose and needed to sneeze it out. there are lots of chins that have that happen to them. Nothing to worry about, unless it continues to bother him.
