Too early to call it a RI but you should watch your ball. temps sem to be fine so maybe it was just water in its nose.

When I give mine baths they sneeze later to push water out since they go diving. Also sometimes they might be trying to blow any dust or anything bugging them. I wouldn't worry too much about a sneeze here and there, as long as it is not persistent.

Try using the micro setting. Looks like a little flower. That's how I take up close video.

Of course I have a 8 megapixal nikon.

my baby has a whistle/wheeze as well.. she whistled pretty consistently during handling for the first month or so after i adopted her from another owner (she was about 2yrs old then).

it seems to be her "i'm stressed out!" whistle, as now i only hear the whistle occasionally: when i rudely awaken her from naps or try to make her go where she doesn't want to go, or when untangling her from my person, or when she's being handled by new people, etc, etc.

i haven't been able to spot any blockages, it just seems to be her little "baby's unhappy!" noise. food for thought.

I have also heard this noise from my royal and instantly panicked. I got my boyfriend to open his mouth so we could check for mucus, bubbles etc but it was all clear. I then upped the temps a couple of degrees for a day or two. The noise wasn't with each breath he made just now and again, like a slight wheezing noise. I monitored him for a few days and have seen no signs of RI. I put it down to nothing to worry about and I am keeping an eye on it. I first noticed about two months ago and now and he is fine. I haven't noticed the noise lately.
