Health / Absence of lower incisors
« on: June 11, 2015, 09:18:12 PM »
Hi! Im new here, i just adopted my chinchilla about a week ago.
When she came to me i was aware if her tooth condition but am seeking for some opinions before proceeding.
My chinchilla came with the absence of her lower incisors so her upper incisors are useless so it continues to grow and require clipping every month.
1. Would it be a better alternative for her to have it extracted or to have it clip every month
2. What are the risk for both?
3. How long would i have to look after her 24/7 if she does go for tooth extraction?
4. She is not eating her hay, should i limit her pellets as she eats alot of pellets
Thank you in advance!
