teeth length

[Tekapo]

Hello, I have two robos who are one year old today. Both are eating fine & gnawing happily on the toys in their cages but one seems to have longer teeth. I can't actually see the teeth protruding on one hamster at all but they are much more visible on my other hamster. I'm a first time owner and not sure how visible/ long their teeth should be. Tried googling but some of the pics are horrible! Can anyone advise? Don't want to stress them out with vets unneccessarily thanks

When are you looking at their teeth? If they're scruffed or just wandering around makes a big difference to how long the teeth should be looking

Hello, when she is wandering around

Unless she's keeping her mouth open a lot (in which case I'd wonder why) that does sound like her teeth might be a little long, its definetly not normal to see hamsters teeth when they're just wandering around so I'd definetly consider trying to figure out exactly why you can see them so much

Ok thanks - I'll try to get a closer look at them. Sounds like a trip to the vet might be in order
