Boy there is always something going on with my boys, I swear! I noticed today my boar Sparky had THREE broken teeth! I checked his weight and is about the same as it is each week, I haven't noticed much difficulty eating, and his appetite is fine. He is around two years old, according to best approximation of the rescue I got him from. He chews on the grids of his cage a lot, has stripped it down in a few places. He seems to do this to get my attention in lieu of wheeking. He also drinks out of his water bottle unlike any other pig I've seen by putting it quite far back in his mouth and really chomping at it. So, my guess would be that is how they broke.
Not sure how much of a cause for alarm this is, and I don't know if there is anything I can even do for him?
Sorry for the poor quality he absolutely hates when I check his teeth! For more perspective his top left tooth is broken to near half the size of the right.
