Teeth

[Jesse's pigs]

So Mo's teeth are fine! Front ones are perfectly straight and growing at even rates- which is a huge relief because Mo did at one point loose one of his top teeth (well most of it there was a mini stump left). Anyway the only fear I have is occasionally -like just now- he'll get a strand of hay stuck between his two top teeth. I just helped him get it unstuck (a gentle pull and I came out but he couldn't by himself. I'm just worried of it happens when I'm not home. Now I know I can't not give him hay till I'm home but do you think I should be really worried about this? It doesn't happen regularly or id have had it checked by a vet. Thanks guys.

I would not worry too much; he won't perish while you are out - the same as during the night. Please make sure that he has got access to hay at all time. Just check him in the morning, when you come home and before you go to bed.
