Chestnut as only got 3 front teeth ,one has snap off and we dont know when it happen he seems to be eating but can their teeth grow back and if they can how long does it take ,does this mean we will have to keep cutting the top set down untell he can toit himself again?
 
Yes love they do grow back O0
I find within 3-5 days they've grown a little bit and by a week they're basically back to a good length and by then they've worked out how to manage with just the one. Don't be surprised if the one beside it also breaks :o This has happened to Duke a number of times ::)
If Chestnut has any probs eating just cut up (or roughly grate) foods into smaller strips and tinier pieces of veg and fruit. He will still manage his hay so that should be fine, if not break some up for him as well O0
They can break from eating their hard veg e.g. carrots
Piggie kisses for Chestnut to help that toofie grow quickly :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
