Default Ferrets sneezing

My ferrets are sneezing quite abit. Think they do it usually when they are about to play or have just woke up. I was told this was normal.
Plus when they eat they usually make these choking noises. Are they eating too fast?
They are their usual selves though, bounding round, playing, chasing me...

Is that all they have just the carefresh, nothing else they might be allergic too or is too dusty?
Ferrets catch human colds and flu very quickly there is also a common virus going around that can make ferrets poorly, my Harley had it last year start of the winter, he was very sleepy and not his usual self so watch out for signs of that

All these noises are normal. When mine gets the sneezes he goes and goes and sounds like hes trying to pump up an airbed.
