Hi
One of my boars has a chipped tooth and I think it's happened while he's been knawing at the C&C cage bars!
Ive been continuously changing the environment round he has nots to chew on but he's still doing it!
He had a op around Christmas time so I had to keep both of my boys inside at night so he didn't get cold . The boys are brothers but when they were together they fought so I had to separate them. They kiss through the bars and have contact but they are much happier apart ...
What shall I do re his teeth , he's eating ( hes a bruiser!) do I need to take him to be checked by the vet ? I think he's chipped it on the bar...
Any advise would be fab
Thanks
 
Is it one of the front ones?
 
Hi
Yes it's front one it feels rough on the bottom and you can see at the side.My daughter noticed it this morning. I haven't noticed him knawing the outdoor run bars but that mesh and smaller holes. They both chew their house that is on legs .....
 
Should be fine especially as he can pick up his food. Cookie chipped her teeth a few times and often had one shorter than the other..... Tagging in @furryfriends (TEAS)
