Last weekend Black Jack jumped off of my sister's bed, and I was examining him today, and noticed that one of upper top teeth is broken in half. There is only half of it still there. So, I was wondering if guinea pigs' grow back. He has been eating and drinking as normal.       |

If I'm not mistaken, Guinea Pigs teeth continuously grow. They chew on things to keep them down. Still, I would take Black Jack to a vet to make sure that there wasn't any worse damage. |

Yeah, they grow back...pretty quickly, too. Taking him to a Vet to have him checked out for possible worse problems sounds like a good idea though. |

I adopted my pig after he had quite a bit of dental care done on his teeth because they were so broken. They do grow back but I would suggest a vet visit. They might need to be smoothed down to make sure they stay strong and dont break when he is eating. |
