i was just taking photos of all gps and clipping their nails and I noticed Juliette, mum to the babies from last year has a broken tooth. Its half gone, the one on the top - do I need to do anything? will it grow back? thanks

I had a piggy who rushed out of her hutch & hit her mouth on the floor, she too broke one of her top teeth half off, it did indeed grow back within a few days. I didn't do anything as she'd not cut herself.
I will say if she's having problems eating then i would syringe her extra :)
 
Just keep a close eye on the opposing tooth too. Most of the time, a small break (half the tooth or less) grows in very quickly and there are no problems. If it is a bigger break and the opposing tooth overgrows, it may need trimming a little so it grows in the same as the broken one.
