Hey! This is my first time posting, I know there are some other threads regarding an issue similar to this- but the replies (as helpful as they were) didn't do anything to comfort me. Usually I would read something and find a less-stressful reasoning to my issue but not this time!
I digress, I recently bought two rats for my birthday, (4 days ago) I've heard alot about pet shop rats having underlying issues and upon hearing some weird noises coming from my ratties nest box the past few days I began to worry.
It's hard to explain, so I've uploaded a few videos to youtube- as a new owner, I'm really getting myself worked up about this, and have a feeling i'm over-reacting, but I really want to be sure!
It's really quite quiet in the videos, so I apologise!
To any help or reassurance that can be offered- I thank you in advance! <3

Edit:
I can't hear any abnormal breathing, but they are sneezing quite a lot- I put that down to the new environment though.
