guinea pig broke teeth
Hi All,
Our almost 3 yr old guinea pig somehow managed to brake her 2 upper front teeth . Does anyone know how to deal with it . what should I feed her, how long it usualy takes to grow back. Any special concerns. I think she broke it on her drinking bottle, she loves to play with it and pul on the mettal tube. any sugestions and experiences are very velcome. Thank you everyone for your help. Take care. Yelena |

Wow
She broke both of them. You should really take her to the vet. It could affect her eating habbits, she wont be able to eat like she usually does.

Like all rodents, guinea pig's teeth grow constantly and they need to chew to keep the teeth worn down.
How much of the teeth are broken off? If they are jagged from the break, you may need to have the vet trim them so they are more even. |

Ours too!
Our 3 yo Guinea Pig also has broken teeth and we don't know how or why? What did you learn from your experience? Any words of advice? We only acquired our wonderful little friend 2 weeks ago and are really challenged by this.
