Clipping a rats teeth?

Sometimes rats teeth need to be clipped. rats teeth grow quickly and constantly and bruxing and eating generally keeps them in check. Sometimes though our friends get issues with teeth overgrowing which can also be caused by other medical conditions. Thankfully they can get tooth care just like we can! Have a look at Rachel from Rattikins Rattery clipping a problem tooth.

As you can see one of the lower teeth has become overgrown and this is a major issue with eating and rats can also put teeth through their tongues.Rats teeth are actually quite chalky and trim very easily.All fixed!!! A rats teeth can be clipped at home if you have appropriate equipment and are capable of restraining and handling your rat for the procedure. If not, a vet is capable of doing it quickly and efficiently! Rats teeth do have a nerve in them in the same way a nail does so when clipping you need to be mindful of this and not over trim.
