>>344859 the paper towels and napkins probably isn't holding the ammonia well, and it may be irritating their nasal passages and lungs. also, if the area you keep them in isn't regularly swept it may be part of the cause. the boxes may be adding to the problem if they're peeing in them. make sure you give them new boxes every 2-3 days.
and by "a while", i mean a month or more. if they've only been doing it for the past couple weeks then it's more than likely a mild infection. it should mostly clear up on it's own but they may have some permanent lung damage if you don't do it soon. make sure you use carefresh, also. it's a bit expensive but even a 10L bag should last you 2 weeks.
also, where/when did you get your rats? were they wheezy then?
