is this a cold?

My baby hedgie has been licking his nose alot and makes little sneezing noises. His nose doesnt look watery and his eyes look clear. Will this pass or does he need to go to the vet? Also he has been eating, drinking and pottying normal...

How long has he been sneezing? What type of bedding is he on? If carefresh or shavings, put him on a cloth cage liner. A pillow case will do for now. If the sneezing does not clear up being on cloth, he needs to see the vet. Respiratory infections do not go away on their own.

I have him on a fleece liner and a litterbox with carefresh. I just noticed him sneezing a little bit this morning while he was on my lap. Maybe about 5 or 6 times while out with me for an hour. I havnt noticed him sneezing or licking his nose in his cage, I sat in there watching him making sure he was eating and drinking (which he was, hes a pig!).
