3 month old rat sneezing a lot

[Pamelanne]

This is my first time having rats, and have had tater for 6 weeks now. Sadly Taters brother earl got a very bad URI, and passed two weeks after they came here. I got Tater a new friend a hairless boy, and just five days ago I got him one more, a sweet curly haired rat named Titus. Tater has has a problem with his eye where it is milky, and also has a cut on it. I have been doing terramycin daily to heal that and it seems to be responding. Now today, today has been sneezing a lot more than his usual one or two. He was sneezing non stop about 20 times then stops. He is constantly eating, playing, running on the wheel and being a lot more tame than before ( he was rescued from being fed to a snake ) - should I take him to the vet? Or am I being paranoid ? Financially it is hard to swing this, but I knew they would need care if I got an animal and will if need be.
That photo is from today of him cuddling his naked brother

The new rats, are either of them sneezing? I just want to ensure they didn't bring in a contagious virus to infect Tater. The cloudy eye was probably a corneal scratch from scuffling with a cagemate.

Neither of the new rats are sneezing. His sneezes have gotten worse so I’m getting him into the vet tomorrow. I hope I caught it before it settles like his brothers did. I found an exotics vet, so I’m hoping they have a better idea to help him rather than the other place I took his brother. I also think his eye was a scuff mark, and hopefully they can help it further thanks for the response
