Normal colour of teeth?

My vet is very confused about this as Albert and Poppy's teeth are a bit yellow. he banned us from feeding carrots and oranges and he thinks they have improved a little bit but not much.

I think teeth colour can indicate dental problems but in the case of my two, I think it's all the sneeky fags!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
dark yellow or teeth going brown can be a sign of calcium deficiency..either not enough in the diet or an underlying problem meaning the animal cannot process the calcium
 
Oh, Don't feed carrots every day just once a week.

What kind of teeth problems could Mhairi have. Also she is a mini rex, does that make a diffrence?

Also would calcium be a problem if not fed a correct diet in the begining?
ie loads of pellets/mix and not enough hay and veg?

How would you correct this?
 
I have bunnies with bad teeth and the vet told me its not so much the colour that is important as the actual make up of the teeth. Do they have ridges running down them or other irregularities? If they are only a slight yellow but are otherwise "normal" I wouldn't worry. Like Jill said, the yellow can indicate a calcium deficiency which is what Sam has, but he also has ridges and grooves running down and across his teeth and these are the real signs of the bigger problem. I'll try and get a photo of his and point out the probs if that would help. Keep feeding him loads of hay and there are veggies with higher calcium contents than others, I believe Kale is one of them, but the deep green veggies are good.
 
My lots teeth range from Sparkeling White :D to Diry Yellow :cry: .
And they are all on the same diet!
