Maybe she has a cold? You can try wrapping her cage with a blanket and keeping her in a warm area and see if that helps. Does she have watery eyes?
I'm not sure if that is the same as hamsters but mine did that and he kinda got better for a little while, but my little buddy was pretty old so it may be different. Try a rat site for help or call a vet and see what her opinion is.

No prob. But like I said, that was with a hamster, even tho it's mostly likely the same problem. Make sure to call a vet when you can. You don't necessarily have to take her in, just call a KNOWLEDGEABLE vet. Some don't know squat. But make sure it's nothing serious because we wouldn't want anything to happen to her.
Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Thanks! I took her out this morning and she hasnt sneezed yet which is really good considering I had her out all day. I think she just might have a sensitive nose to dust or something cause the same thing happened awhile ago and she got better on her own!
