Warren Veteran
My buns (all sisters) have all started to have slight teeth problems, one has been in for a dental under GA, and the other some concious rasping. The vet isn't overly concerned that they are very bad at all. More of a case of not perfect, but the slightest hint of anything they stop eating pellets. Also I'm thinking it's because their pellets are SS, and large so they struggle a bit quicker. Lola hadn't eaten hers yesterday, well more of gave up with them when I watched her but when I cut them up, she ate them. Whereas my old bridge bun had Excell nuggets which were tinier, so perhaps that's how he kept eating for longer when his teeth grew long.
I try everything to keep their interest in hay, and so far we are winning that battle most of the time, but now I have thought to give them say a handful of that very big and long straw, in an effort for it to aid keeping their teeth down. I bought the pillow wad stuff http://www.pillow-wad.co.uk/products.asp and even though it says it's soft, it doesn't feel it.
They still have their fresh hays twice as day aswell, and not really a large enough amount of straw to detract from wanting the hay. But I'm hoping it will aid keeping them down a bit more.
Do you think it will help with the teeth??
