A few questions:

You shouldn't use pine or cedar shavings it does affect their respiratory system, aspen however is safe.

I can't get aspen here I use horse bedding which is thicker shavings and keeps them from eating when tiny along with using towels over for first week or so. But for those who can get aspen that is a good choice.

Yes, they have a waterer that they can dip there bill, eyes, nose into. I will try the towels. I just got some thicker shavings they are pine. Is that OK? Also I got some VetRx can I use that on them and see if it stops? It also kinda sounds like they are just getting things out of there nostrils so maybe I was just freaking out when it was not that big of a deal.

Can you post a video of the sneezing? Do they have a discharge from their nostrils or eyes?

I will try to if I can get the camra out there when they are sneezing. They do not sneeze vary often.

How often do they sneeze? If not very often I don't think you need to worry to much .

As long as they are drinking, eating, acting normal, and don't have any nasal oreye discharge I think the occasional sneeze is okay.

As for what type of shavings, everyone I know uses pine shavings. Do *not* use cedar.

One more thing--- is it true that if a duck eats pine shavings and then drinks water that the pine shavings will absorb the water and they can die? I heard this some were..is it true?
