I was just watching my piggies when i noticed Chester started getting all funny and twitchy with his mouth like something was stuck in there, i took him out and there was a big piece of hay hanging out so i pulled it but it seems to have broken off and there is a small chunk of hay between his two front teeth, it's very small but i'm just a bit concerned, my boyfriend wont hold him to let me have a better look as he's convinced i'm going to hurt him. Is their anything i can do to help him get it out?
He's not all that fussed now the big piece isn't hanging out and he's eating a bit, but i don't want it to stay in between his teeth for too long!
 
I've used tweezers to extract a little piece of stuck hay from between teeth before, especially if you are wary of their toofies :D Get your boyfriend to sit him on his lap, facing his knees, hold Chester firmly whilst you do the business at the sharp end lol :D Good luck!
