Not Eating Not eating

Just today I realized that it looks like my pig has not been eating like he usually does and started to act weird. He has calcium in his pee and I noticed his teeth look like this. What should I do?

He needs to go to an exotics veterinarian. The sooner the better, since not eating is always fatal.

He's got a broken tooth, which isn't usually a problem, but may mean that he needs a couple of trimmings until things even up again. He may not be able to pick up his food with them being as mismatched as they are. I'd see a vet, but his molars also need to be checked under light anesthesia, and he needs skull x-rays to check for elongated roots.

What is his diet? What kind of hay? What kind of pellets, and how many? What veggies, and how many of each?

I found a vet and he is going first thing in the morning to get checked and his teeth trimmed

Don't let the vet cut the front teeth too short. He won't be able to pick up his food then, and you'll be hand-feeding him matchstick-sized slivers of food for the next week.
