Hi acortez77, welcome to TSB!:wave123 Glad you found us. Have you changed any hand soaps, detergents, or shampoo lately? It's possible he could having an allergic reaction to something.
Also, as I see this is your first post, what is his diet like? We do see issues on here all the time related to dietary issues.
He's a cute little guy by the way.:)

Please check the length of his bottom teeth. If squirrels don't do lots of chewing of hard things like bark and wood and nuts, or if the teeth don't meet quite right, the lower teeth will continue growing long and pierce the roof of the mouth. Often the first symptom is a runny nose and watery eyes due to the proximity of the sinuses. Check the teeth and the roof of the mouth.

Thanks for the replys. Rodney has not been sneezing since that day so I guess it was nothing. And his diet consists of rodent blocks, raw walnuts, peanuts, fresh fruit he manly like pears and peaches but will try other things. He has tree time everyday for about an hour or how ever long he wants to paly. He is extremely play full and his appitite is good!!

I have another question, what about trimming his nails? Is that something that needs to be done? He gets them snagged on everthing and Im affraid it will hurt his toes one of these times
