Sounds like a respiratory infection. You should get him to the vet and THEN figure out what aspect of your husbandry allowed him to succumb to this infection.
Generally the problem is not having enough heat. That is why this happens in the winter more often than the summer. Check your cage temps. Make sure there is a cool area around 75°F and a warm area around 85°F.
