Daisy has what looks like fangs either side of her mouth. They are about 4mm long. She doesn't seem as interested in her fresh veg as she normally would be so I'm wondering if it's affecting her. She's more interested in her dry food and hay than the fresh stuff

They are the grey bits on the photo. Could it be fungal?
 
Does she chew on the bars of the cage? It could be caused by that.
If not than it could possibly be fungal, but I wouldn't have enough experience to say so.

P.S She's gorgeous x) Lovely colours!
 
The vet suggested cage biting when she just had flat hard bits but she only cage bites when we can see or hear her once in a blue moon. Would cage biting make them grow bigger?
 
Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe if she kept irritating it, but if you say she doesn't do it very much... As I said, I don't really have enough experience with this sort of thing. Hopefully someone else can give you some better suggestions or advice :).
Sorry I can't help you more.
 
Looks like a trip to Vedra to get her checked over as my vets won't do dental work without anasthetic and if Daisy has any dental problems I'd rather not have her knocked out
