Sniffy whistling

[2blackdumbos]

From what ive noticed the past 2.5 months (maybe she's done it all her life and I didn't notice) when she's sniffing there's a slight ring/whistle noise to it, its DEF coming from her nose sniffing, not her breathing and I only catch it in the cage right before I let them out or right after I let her in. I rat phoned her and it sounds clear, she does sneeze sometimes, but her and her sister have done that their whole life (7 months) I attached a video, what do you think? I get mixed opinions on if I should take her to the vet, other than this she's eating, drinking, her coat is shiny and not puffed, she has a normal amount of porphyrin, and she's active.

Sorry this post was missed. It sounds more like nasal congestion than any active infection, so there's nothing for antibiotics to cure. Just keep an eye on her for any more symptoms of illness

Thanks for responding, is nasal congestion caused by allergies?

It can be dry air, allergies (uncommon) and just physiological.
