I have a weird question. I have a mom of 4 babies. 2 are hers and 2 are another mom that died during birth that she’s fostered. This does kits starting sneezing at about 4 weeks old. Mom is perfectly healthy and I’ve never had a rabbit sick before or RVER sneeze. She lost one of her babies too at about 2 weeks. It seemed weak and thin. No sneezing though. The kits from the mom that died are healthy and have no issues at all. What could this be I don’t get it.
 
could be dusty hay

shake and serve

had the same problem w my fur ball s

and shaking their food helped w mine

if it continue s , i would into the bedding ( what kind of bedding is it ? )

Bedding was just vinyl as they were in a large floor pen with mom and a litter box. Then I changed it to a rabbit pen for just the babies themselves. It’s just weird cuz all other rabbits are fine and two of the babies are perfectly fine. I did change the hay a few weeks ago thpugh
 
If there isn't any thick white or colored discharge, noisy breathing, or difficulty breathing or mouth breathing (an emergency), to indicate a bacterial infection or pneumonia, I would suspect something dusty in their environment like the hay as Lokin4AReason mentioned. Also anything with a strong scent like cleaners, fabric washed with scented detergents, etc, are possible culprits.
