I noticed today that he seems to be sneezing a bit and is a tad
lethargic. He also seems to be staying to one corner of his cage.
When I pet him, he lets out this pathetic squeek.

He seems to be moving around ok, when he decides to move, and his
breathing seems ok other than the sneezing.

He was eating earlier.

I've never seen this behavior before. Should I be worried?
When should I take him to the vet?

Best Regards,

I would take him in now... best to get it right away if anything is
happening with him. Lethargy is usually a good indicator that all is not
well.

Hmm...

He's seeming a lot more chipper tonight and he's no longer squeeking
when I pick him up.

Doesn't seem as lethargic, but he's still sneezing a bit, although less.
He *seems* better. I'll see how he is tomorrow and then make a decision
I guess.

Thanks,
