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
