Many say they don't get the common cold, but I know of a few people (myself included) that have had their ferrets come down with one. If everything else is fine, I wouldn't worry about it. It will have to run it's course as in humans (unless a complication develops).
Barring introducing a new product in the house (could be anything, ie: cleaning products, personal use (hairspray, etc.), new perfume), it probably is a bug they caught considering half of them are sneezing.
Just my opinion.
