My first guess would be that maybe you are using cedar chips of some kind in
their cage? This really gets them sneezing and is BAD for them.
 
If that is not the case, perhaps they have a cold, are their noses running?
If so, just give them an eye dropper full of Sudafed for kids twice a day.
Our 2 ferrets love this medicine and it makes the cold go away in days.
