Grinding teeth

« on: February 06, 2012, 03:51:23 PM »

Today I noticed my male chin grinding his teeth while I was holding him, Ive only had him for 2 days and I want to know what this might be caused by? Ive got him plenty of things to chew on, apple sticks, wood blocks, a few chew rocks but I have noticed him not chewing as much as I thought he would and he barely touches his hay I give him. Any advice would be very helpful I'm afraid something is wrong with his teeth, hes about 11 weeks old.

Yea its just here and there, he mainly does it when I pick him up but ive watched him in his cage and he doesn't do it so I'm happy its nothing to worry about. I'm just a new chin owner and worrying that I'm doing everything right, so thank you
