    My bedding says dust free but is still has dust, I would try airing the bedding out, and then put it back in. If that does not work maybe a different bedding, and if that does not work call a experienced vet with guinea pigs, and see what the vet has to say.

    Hes either

    A - Being irritated by something in the environment such as air fresheners, scented bedding/litter, dust in the air etc.

    Make sure you use Unscented Wood Shavings, not saw dust and shake off the hay before you give it to them.

    or

    B - He has the beginnings of a respiratory infection which early signs are sneezing.

    Guinea pigs go down hill fast so I would got to the vet to be sure.
