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.

no they shouldn't lose there teeth they have one set of teeth and that's it. they grow for ever that's why you should have a chew toy in the hutch or a peice of wood so that they can keep their teeth to a healthy length. my guinea pig lost her top teeth so i had to mash her food and hand feed her it took a couple of days for her teeth to grow back but make sure to check that there is a bit of their teeth there where the gum is because if it is just gum you may need to take him for an xray to see if the teeth are going to grow again. hope this helps

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.
