Does anyone have their own otoscope to monitor there's buns teeth? After the drama I had with Bobby last week I'd really like to be able to begin learning to assess teeth myself so I don't have to rely on a vet!

I don't want a really expensive one, the ones that link to you phone https://www.amazon.co.uk/Teslong-Ot...uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVlhttp://https://www.amazon.co.uk/Teslong-Otoscope-Inspection-Samsung-Android/dp/B074MQTDB8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=otoscope&qid=1566241160&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExTEdTTzRMQk5RSFY2JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjEzNjM0MVhQTEc2NTdMMFJJNyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDA3OTA2MTZHVzVCSTAzRTFXMyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl seem to have really good reviews for wars although the ear pieces being plastic are a concern but maybe ok for occasional use?
 
I've never seen the ones that link to phone, I've got a torch one like vets use, it's really good and strong should bunny chew at end, like if it where plastic the may chomp down and crush it so you end up seeing nothing and then rabbit has plastic in mouth
Got mine off eBay number years ago, it came with a few different sizes to it on end for viewing in rabbits mouth, ears

IMO it would not be suitable to examine a Rabbits teeth, the plastic speculum would be crushed in one chomp and so would any cable Bunny managed to get hold of. To examine the teeth a Veterinary Otoscope with a long steel speculum is preferable. The speculum on the one in the link is too short :)
