Your guinea pig’s teeth grow continuously throughout his life. Without diligent care, it is possible his teeth could become overgrown and possibly cross over each other. Your pig will have difficulty eating and suffer from pain and cuts inside his mouth. Examine your guinea pig’s teeth often and ensure they are straight and relatively short. Check for broken teeth or discoloration too. Provide your guinea pig with lots of timothy hay and wood blocks so he can nibble and gnaw to wear down his teeth. Hard vegetables such as carrots and squash add some nutrition and help keep your pig’s teeth trim. Ensure that your pig’s diet is high in vitamin C to support healthy teeth. If your guinea pig has difficulty eating or you see any dental issues, he needs medical care. Make an appointment with your vet Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to have your guinea pig’s teeth evaluated and treated as needed.
