Why do guinea pigs lose their teeth several times?

Answer 1

it is a warning when it is mild chattering or with server chattering it is about to attack. If it is chattering its teeth at you try offering it a carrot or a treat and reestablish your relationship with it if it is at another piggy then keep them together unless it gets server and a attack is pending when they need to be separated they can start fighting for many reasons but mainly can be reintegrated back together.It means they need a chew toy. They need to wear down their teeth. Get them one as soon as you possibly can.

Guinea pigs chatter with their teeth when they're aggravated or getting mad. It's a warning signal of a sort.

My Guinea Pig does this when she is nervous, sometimes I also think she wants to get my attention. Chew things are essential to Guinea Pigs having healthy teeth.

It is not from them getting mad or "warning" you unless you do something to HARM them. They will only use this as a warning when another guinea pig is being aggressive to them.

If the guinea pig is doing it "TO" you it is because he/she is nervous or scared when you are holding her or trying to pick them up. Just use calm words, and a treat of parsley or another veggie to reward them and put them at ease.

Some guinea pigs do it as a warning to another guinea pig but others sometimes just do it as a dislike to a sound or action.

Sometimes they are talking or even trying to attract another female

He is simply hungry i get it all the time from my little baby

you will often see them rubbing their teeth backwards and forwards. They are just grinding their teeth so they don't grow too long. that's why they might chew on wood and plastic sometimes. it completely normal.

Yes Guinea Pigs Loose Teeth Just Like Us So If It Bites Into Somthing Hard it May End Up Loosing A Tooth For Food,Guinea Pigs Only Get 4 more teeth if they lose the 4. answered by:A Friend To Animals

guinea pigs can break and lose teeth, as they are rodents, their teeth constantly grow, so should grow back on their own with time, one of mine has lost his incisors many many times and they have always grown back.

sometimes though, this is not the case if the root is badly damaged and you will need to take him to the vet for advice and to get his opposite teeth trimmed or removed as they will not wear down

If that's happening, you need to take your pig to the vet RIGHT AWAY. it needs help NOW. If you wait too long, they could starve and die. you NEED to get to the vet ASAP.

Answer 4

No, guinea pigs shouldn't lose their teeth. Their teeth continuously grow which is why they have to grind them down.

Answer 5

A guinea pig chatters or grinds it's teeth when it's mad. When it does it to you, it means it's mad at you for something you did.

Answer 6

Your pet was grooming itself. The hair was left over from licking and cleaning. It will disappear after it eats it's next meal or takes a drink of water.
