Hello my name is Maggytyu898 Well, they dont have to get too long. If you put a cardboard chewing tube in the cage, it will bite that and they will be just fine (i think). or, you can put wooden blocks in their cage (my guinea pighates wood so beware.). I would say if you had no chewing materials, it would take about 2 weeks. because guinea pigs are rodents. and the definition of rodent is: an animal that has 1 pair of ever-growing teeth.well, thank you for asking:) Hello my name is LuvBug787, my advice is feed it lots of vitamin c (timothy hay) and that will help the teeth and keep it from growing too far.

yes, they most certainly will. guinea pigs teeth are always growing so it is important to give them stuff to chew on like tree branches (check with a vet for appropriate types of tree to use) or untreated pine. if they over grow it can stop the pig from being able to eat/drink and it will get sick and die.

unless the roots of the teeth have been sergically removed and there are NO roots left they will grow back :)

How do you stop guinea pigs from having itchy teeth?

Guinea pigs don't actually get itchy teeth. They are rodents, and this means their teeth never stop growing. To keep their teeth worn down, they will gnaw the wooden edges of their cage. Maybe this is what you interpret as having itchy teeth. If you don't give your guinea-pig pieces of untreated wood to gnaw on, it's possible for their teeth to grow so long that they can't eat.

Why would guinea pigs loose their teeth?

guinea pigs will sometimes break teeth off. since they constantly grow make sure to feed them soft lettuce and other foods they can handle until they grow back. guinea pigs cannot store vitamin c and broken teeth are usually a reflection of scurvy, or a vitamin c defficiency. The website below has information on teeth and other links on how to adjust your pigs diet to get them better. :) http://www.guinealynx.info/teeth.html

Well pretty much they grow longer and longer, so they might chew on plastic or other hard material to shorten them. If this does not happen the teeth will grow to long and they will eventually die of starvation. -Someone without an account
