Sometimes if you keep your rabbit outside and they get too hot they will do that, or if they have slight allergies. If your rabbit don't get better if you bring her a bottle of frozen water, or by bringing her inside to an air conditioned home, take her to the vet to see if it is allergies.

Don't worry,
My rabbit has had this before, Its only a common cold but it can be fatal if you leave it, make an appointment with your vet then he or she will give it an injection and then give you some antibiotics and a syringe you give medicine through into the mouth for 7 days after that he should be all clear, if not take him back to the vets for another dose of treatment.
our rabbit didnt like the medicine so we sqirted most of it into the food but also some of it onto my hand which she would then lick off ( Shes really soft & loving and licks people all the time!)
Any way hope i helped you put another post on in a few days to tell me how you got on.

Yes, your rabbit is sick. If you have other rabbits remove the sick one immediatly!! You can treat it but you cannot cure "snuffles". You can go to a farm store and purchase terramycin powder and add it to its water. Dont bring the rabbit around any other rabbits. If it were my rabbit I would put it down because its contagious and I couldnt/wouldnt risk loosing my whole herd because of one rabbit.
You need to clean its cage & environment more often and reduce its stress, that is what triggers the pasturella in the first place.
Good luck!

A wet nose is usually a sign of health in a normal critter, as for the sneezing that isn't normal at all, for any creature. I suggest getting him checked out :)

He could be sick. What kind of bedding are you using? Apen wood shavings are dust free and so it recycled newpaper pelets. I use newspapers for my rabbit's bedding. If that's not the case, take the little fellow to the vet. Rabbits have very sensitive noses.

Yes. It could have a bacterial problem known as pastuerella. He needs antibiotics. If left untreated he could die.
