Just like the title says. I visited vet a few months ago and he said it may take a little longer for tooth to grow but nothing chamged since then. Upper teeth are starting to become kinda sharp, one is longer than the other and i'm worried because as i know, guinea pigs teeth are growing their whole life, right? I have got two piggies, the one without tooth is about 5 years old, he's friendly, doesn't seem to be in pain or anything. Can this be caused by his age, or something else? I'm sorry for grammar mistakes, english is not my native language :<

Has your guinea pigs lower incisors (front teeth) broken and not grown? Sorry if this is not the case, I’m not quite sure what’s happened. If this is the case then the upper incisors have nothing to grind against so become longer than normal. the upper teeth will have the be burred or filed by a vet with specialists tools for the job. Once the upper teeth are shorter the lower teeth may grow up and out of the gum and eventually align with the upper teeth and rub together to keep all four sharpened and at the proper length.
