Gabriel has been sneezing like once a day since we got him, but lately it has slowly been increasing. And in the last couple days it has been a lot. I would say like ten times in one hour twice a day. I would imagine that if it was an infection, it would be worse and that there would be more symptoms. I was thinking of taking him into the vet. Would that be a good idea?

He may have a piece of hay or bedding lodged in his nose or the back of his throat, thus causing sneezing/irritation. If you think he may have an infection then i would seek vet advice. It could be something as simple as a guinea pig cold.

Raiden sneezes a lot too, she's been like that since before I got her. I notice that usually right after I clean her cage she sneezes a little more for about 20 minutes, then she's fine. I think it might just be the leftover dust in the air from after I sweep. Could it be a similar reason for Gabriel? Have you been cleaning more lately or is there any extra dust or something?

I have to completely clean his cage every few days because he makes a mess so fast. That could be why. In the past, I didn't have to do that as often.
