elvis is my cavy
Junior Guinea Pig
i clipped elvis nails today so i decided to check his teeth. his top two teeth are weird. one is longer then the other i think he broke a tooth. oh gezz i feel guilty right now. what do i do?
I don't know if a lack of Calcium might cause that, sometimes it seems to be more the individual pig than the diet. If a change of diet to one containing more Calcium doesn't do it then it may be how they are. Its usually a knock that causes it- or a run in with another pig :tawny said:do their teeth get weak and snap? baby broke one of his so we had the other cut back to. both grew again and looked fine but then the other one has now broke. this time i haven't taken him to the vets and it seems to be growing fine. just seemed strange that one broke and then a few weeks on the other one went.

Why people would do that just goes over my head
