Two weeks ago I posted about how I discovered that Ruby had snapped BOTH of her top front teeth off at the base :yikes:

Ruby Has Broken Her Top Front Teeth

I wanted to post a quick update and say thank you again to everyone who offered support.

Ruby has gained back all the weight she lost (plus a bit more).
We have been keeping a regular check on her teeth and her weight and as of today (2 weeks and 2 days since she literally had small stumps sitting below the gum line) she now has full sized, new front teeth, which seem to align perfectly with her bottom teeth :)

We still have no idea how she snapped them in the first place, but I just wanted to update on the final outcome.

We are obviously extremely happy that everything seems ok again but this was also a huge reminder about just how fast guinea pig teeth grow.
