I just saw Bear yawn and her bottom teeth seem very much longer than Dinah's or Magic's. I consulted Hamsterlopaedia, which says it's hard to define what is too long and you should consider other factors. Bear seems to eat OK, I've recently moved her from a tank to a wired cage and she hasn't chewed the bars, and she has no cuts near her mouth. On the other hand, she is thinner than the others, used to chew her bottle, and has a scab on her back. I've given her her first dog biscuit in a while. Should I take her to the vet for an opinion?
