Default Old hamster teeth

Conan as you know is very old. He's very fragile. He's broken one of his bottom teeth. Should I take him to the vet. He seems to be eating and drinking ok. I'm scared that he wouldn't survive a trip to the vet's.

Default Re: Old hamster teeth

I was reading in the Wiki yesterday... it seems that some people trim the teeth themselves after being shown how by a vet tech? If it was Flower, I would try to take her to the vet to have them trimmed. But maybe YOU could go to the vet, and have them show you, then come home to Conan?

I don't have a pro opinion, but this happened to Hiccup as he got on, and he just kept doing his thing, so we decided not to stress him out
